The Problem Of Disparity In Prison Sentences Subsidiaries To Substitute Money In Corruption Criminal Acts (Solution For Resolution)

Abstract

This article analyzes the problems and challenges faced by corruptors sentenced to prison terms in lieu of compensation. Using an empirical legal approach based on literature studies and combined with interviews, the findings reveal that, in decisions 37/Pid.Sus-TPK/2025/PN Amb and decision number 18/Pid.SusTPK/2024/PTAmb. In both cases, the sentence is one year in prison in lieu of compensation, but the compensation in both cases has a different nominal value. Suggestions can be submitted to the Supreme Court to issue a Supreme Court Circular regarding prison terms in lieu of compensation to serve as a guideline for judges in corruption cases in handling these issues.
