Implementation of Mutual Legal Assistance in the Return of Assets Resulting from Corruption between Indonesia and Australia
Abstract
The development of corruption crimes today is increasing from year to year and is accompanied by other crimes such as hiding assets resulting from corruption in other countries. One of the efforts to take assets resulting from corruption in other countries can be taken with Mutual Legal Assistance to eradicate various crimes with a transnational dimension, especially in corruption. Regulations related to MLA have been promulgated in Law Number 1 of 2006 concerning Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters. Mutual Legal Assistance is considered as the initial stage of law enforcement, especially in the recovery of state assets resulting from Corruption Crimes, so cooperation with other countries is needed such as between Indonesia and Australia which aims to return state assets resulting from corruption crimes hidden in Australia.
