Corruption is a crime that can have a broad impact on a state or nation, therefore overcoming it must be carried out with a firm legal approach. One of the most severe forms of law enforcement is the application of the death penalty, as regulated in the criminal law system in Indonesia. This research aims to analyze the ideal regulations and policies for implementing the death penalty against perpetrators of criminal acts of corruption in Indonesia. The method used is a normative legal research method with a statutory approach. The results of the research show that the death penalty for criminal acts of corruption has been normatively regulated in Article 2 paragraph (2) of Law Number 31 of 1999 jo. Law Number 20 of 2001, however, is facultative and is very rarely applied in judicial practice. The formulation of “certain circumstances” as a condition for criminal aggravation still leaves room for multiple interpretations, thus creating obstacles in the application of the death penalty. Other countries, such as China and Vietnam, have set nominal limits on state losses as the basis for imposing the death penalty against perpetrators of major corruption. This provision provides legal clarity and certainty in the enforcement of heavy criminal sanctions. Indonesia can adopt a similar approach by formulating quantitative parameters as the basis for weighting. It is hoped that this reform will be able to provide a deterrent effect and strengthen the legal system in eradicating corruption more effectively.
