Abstract

ABSTRACT

Purpose of the study: This research aims to review the subsidized fertilizer trade from the standpoint of the National Criminal Law, taking into account both the policy considerations that went into its formulation and the background information provided by the judge in two court decisions (Decision No.19/Pid Sus/2022/Fr.Pti. and the decision of MA 105 K/Pid.Sus/2019). It also looks at how the disparities in legal rulings have affected the criminal act of subsidized fertilizer sales between Indonesia and Uzbekistan as per Law No. 93 of 1997 concerning the Criminal Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan Article 177.

Methodology: Normative research approach to legislation and case approach. Secondary data were gathered from legal documents. Results: Since subsidized fertilizer is a good under supervision under the Ministry of Trade of the Republic of Indonesia No. 15/M-DAG/PER/4/2013 on the procurement and distribution of subsidized fertilizer in the agricultural sector, the trade must have a license in accordance with Presidential Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia No. 15/2011 on amendments to Presidential Regulation No. 77 of 2005 on the determination of subsidized fertilizer as a good under supervision.  Trading actors who disregard this clause are liable for errors in the form and for not having the proper authorization or authority to trade subsidized fertilizer, according to the defendant's Decision No. 19/Pid Sus/2022/PN.Pti. and the Decision of MA 105 K/Pid.Sus/2019. The dangerous nature of the perpetrator's actions also makes them classified as economic crimes because they have the potential to disrupt the national economy. This study aims to compare the legal framework, legal proceedings, and punitive measures of the judge's rulings on the criminal act of illegal fertilizer sales in Uzbekistan and Indonesia. The laws that govern plant cultivation systems in Indonesia are Law Number 12 of 2019, Law No. 8 of 1999 on Consumer Protection, and Criminal Code Article 386, which imposes fines, administrative penalties, and jail time. The legal procedure entails a police or Civil Servant Investigator's investigation, a prosecutor's prosecution, and a trial involving the cross-examination of witnesses and evidence. Illegal fertilizer trade is punishable by law in Uzbekistan under Law No. 93 of 1997 concerning the Criminal Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Article 177, and Law No. 221-I of 1996 concerning the Protection of Consumer Rights, with fines, social work, or incarceration as possible forms of punishment. The legal process entails an inquiry conducted by investigative entities, an accusation made by prosecutors, and a trial during which witnesses are questioned and evidence is presented. Only one case—the Navoiyazot case—has made it to the Uzbek court thus far.

Applications of this study: This research can be applied to examine economic crimes committed against the supervision of trade in goods, particularly fertilizers that are subsidized. It is also to compare the conditions of the illicit sale of fertilizers that have been subsidized in Uzbekistan and Indonesia, as well as the rulings made by the courts.

Novelty/Originality of this study:  This study is novel in that it examines the trade of fertilizers that are illegally subsidized between two nations.

Keywords: economic crime, subsidized fertilizer, trade.
