Antara Hak Privasi dan Pemberantasan Korupsi: Menimbang Kewenangan Penyadapan oleh KPK
Abstract
Abstract
The Corruption Eradication Committee (KPK) has special authority in the field of wiretapping and eavesdropping in carrying out its duties. This allows KPK investigators to record conversations and conduct wiretapping, as well as ask the relevant agencies to prevent individuals from traveling abroad. This action is very important for the Corruption Eradication Commission to carry out a thorough investigation and prosecute the perpetrators of the crime. However, the Corruption Eradication Committee's authority was weakened after the passing of Law Number 19 of 2019 which revised Law Number 32 of 2002. Based on the previous law, Article 12 of Law Number 30 of 2002 allowed the Corruption Eradication Commission to carry out wiretapping and record conversations. However, in the revision of Article 12B of Law Number 19 of 2019, it is now stated that wiretapping can only be carried out with the permission of the Supervisory Board as stated in Article 12B paragraph (1). In addition, wiretapping can only be carried out within a period of 6 months after receiving written permission, and can only be extended once for the same period as intended in paragraph (4).
