Abstract:
This Research discusses the criminal act of corruption of grant funds committed by election
organizers within the scope of the General Election Commission (KPU), with a focus on the
analysis of decision Number 17/PID.SUS-TPK/2023/PT MNK. The purpose of this study is to
examine the modus operandi of corruption, the judge's legal considerations, and the
effectiveness of law enforcement against the perpetrators. The method used is normative
juridical with a case study approach and analysis of court decisions. The results of the study
indicate that corruption occurred through the misuse of KPU grant funds that should have been
used to support the implementation of the election. This action was carried out by falsifying
financial reports and engineering activities. The first instance and appeal courts sentenced the
accused by considering the elements of state losses and the active role of the accused. This
study recommends strengthening the audit system, transparency of grant funds, and supervision
by internal and external supervisory officers to prevent similar cases from recurring.
