Abstract
This legal research examines the management and sanctions given to Indonesian National Armed Forces personnel who committed acts of corruption. This research aims to examine the legal procedure for personnel of the Indonesian National Armed Forces who committed acts of corruption, as well as the decision of the Military Court on the case. Corruption is a particularly extraordinary crime, and its eradication has become one of the government's primary objectives through the enactment of legislation. This legal research will primarily address two issues. First, the military court will conduct criminal justice proceedings for every Indonesian National Armed Forces personnel who commits a corrupt act. Second, apart from being subject to military criminal law regulations, Indonesian National Armed Forces personnel are also subject to general law regulations. Normative legal research is the method applied in this research. The researchers conducted a study on Corruption Laws and Military Laws, as well as the Military Penal Code. To complement this normative research, the researchers also reviewed some literature regarding criminal law. Results of the research reveal differences between the imposition of sanctions for Indonesian National Armed Forces personnel who engage in acts of corruption and Indonesian National Armed Forces personnel who abuse their positions of authority, according to the Military Penal Code. The difference arises as a result of military interests in every decision-making. However, consideration of military interests should not prevent action from being taken against personnel of the Indonesian National Armed Forces who are engaged in any acts of corruption. Therefore, any instance of corruption committed by Indonesian National Armed Forces personnel should be addressed legally and punished appropriately.
