Abstract

The Attorney General's Office of the Republic of Indonesia plays a significant role in the enforcement of corruption crimes in Indonesia, as stipulated in Article 1 paragraph (1) of Law No. 11 of 2021 on Amendments to Law No. 16 of 2004 on the Attorney General's Office of the Republic of Indonesia. The role of prosecutors in conducting wiretapping becomes crucial in uncovering corruption offenses that harm the state. This research aims to examine the role of prosecutors in conducting wiretapping in corruption cases from the perspective of the Law on the Attorney General's Office of the Republic of Indonesia and whether the implementation of wiretapping in corruption cases is in accordance with the law. A doctrinal research method is employed in this study, collecting and analyzing relevant literature related to the research problem. The findings of this study indicate that the role of prosecutors in uncovering corruption crimes through wiretapping and other authorized providers, with court approval, and the implementation of wiretapping in corruption cases are not in violation of the law. The results of this research are expected to serve as a reference for the Attorney General's Office of the Republic of Indonesia in enhancing the effectiveness of handling corruption crimes through wiretapping, thereby improving the effectiveness of anti-corruption efforts and protecting the interests of the state.
