Analisis Yuridis Terhadap Pertanggungjawaban Pidana Pada Kasus Korupsi Proyek Studio LPP TVRI Kepulauan Riau

Abstract

This study examines criminal liability in the corruption case of the LPP
TVRI Riau Islands Studio Development Project, which involved three defendants
with sentences ranging from 1.6 to 6 years in prison. This case is an important
representation in understanding how law enforcement officers apply the elements
of criminal acts of corruption as stipulated in Law Number 31 of 1999 in
conjunction with Law Number 20 of 2001. The focus of the research is directed at
the legal construction related to proving the elements of enriching oneself or
others, the existence of unlawful acts, and the occurrence of state losses based on
the calculations of state auditors. Through a normative legal approach by
examining court decisions, related regulations, and academic literature, this study
found that the judge considered the role of each defendant, from planning,
budgeting, to project implementation. Criminal liability was established based on
the level of involvement, intent, and abuse of authority proven during the trial
process. In addition, the decision demonstrates the consistent application of the
mens rea and actus reus doctrines in criminal law on corruption, while also
reflecting preventive efforts to strengthen the governance of public broadcasting
institutions. The research findings indicate that criminal liability is determined not
only by position but also by active contribution to the occurrence of state losses.
This research emphasizes the importance of improving the internal oversight
system of broadcasting institutions to prevent similar corrupt practices. Therefore,
this legal analysis provides a comprehensive overview of the application of law in
regional corruption cases and its relevance to national law enforcement.
