Expert Testimony in Law Enforcement of Corruption in the Procurement of Goods and Services in Handling Emergencies
Abstract
The objective of this research is to examine the extent of regulations regarding the utilization of expert information in the investigation of corrupt criminal acts, as stipulated in Law Number 8 of 1981 on the Criminal Procedure Code. Additionally, it aims to analyze the use of expert information in the investigation of corrupt criminal acts related to the procurement of goods and services in emergency situations. The research employs normative legal research methods. The findings reveal the role of expert testimony in the criminal law enforcement process based on Law Number 8 of 1981 on the Criminal Procedure Code. Expert testimony can serve as evidence in a criminal case in two possible ways: as expert testimony itself or as documentary evidence. Expert testimony is presented in court under oath or affirmation according to the individual's religious beliefs. On the other hand, documentary evidence is provided during an examination by an investigator or public prosecutor, in the form of a report that takes into account the oath taken when assuming the position or job. Furthermore, the use of expert information in elucidating the investigation process of corrupt criminal acts in the procurement of goods and services during emergency situations holds non-binding power. Expert information serves as a tool to mitigate the potential for human negligence. By drawing upon the information provided by experts, a coherent narrative can be constructed to uncover the truth, with the expectation that the Mataram Police Criminal Investigation Unit can reach a judgment (ratio decidendi). From the expert statement from PBJ, the Mataram Police Criminal Investigation Unit obtained this expert statement which was able to explain the case currently being handled regarding a criminal act of corruption at the NTB Province Small and Medium Enterprise Cooperative Service, that there had been a conflict of interest of the parties involved, either directly or indirectly.
