Most of the corruption offences involve corporation. However up to this moment almost no corporations are held accountable for corruption. Whereas the law Number 31 of 1999, jo. Number 20 of 2001 on Combating Curruption has incorporated the corporation as a legal subject. During this time in dealing with corruption cases involving corporation, law enforcement officers only process management of corporation to be brought to the court and punished for their wrongdoing. Demanding criminal responsibility to a corporation on corruption offence needs to be done to improve the effectiveness of corruption eradication. If only the management is punished while the corporation is not, then the profit gained by the corporation illegally can be seized. Besides that, it is feared that corrupt practices involving corporation will still happen with the new management. By punishing corporation with high fines and robs the profits gained illegally by corrupt offences, it will provide a detterent effect to the corruption and prevent other corporations from corruption in doing business. Punishment against corporations should also provide an opportunity for corporations to improve themselves and able to create a condusive and competitive business climate. |
