Abstract

This research examines trading in influence in corruption offenses committed by public officials from the perspective of Indonesian criminal law. The research aims to analyze the patterns of trading in influence arising from the discretion of public officials and the regulation of criminal liability under Indonesian law. This study employs normative legal research using statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches. The results show five patterns of trading in influence, namely direct influence, influence through intermediaries, family or political networks, access to procurement, and influence over administrative decisions. Indonesian law has not yet regulated trading in influence as an independent criminal offense; therefore, its prosecution still relies on existing corruption provisions, such as bribery, gratification, extortion, abuse of authority, and participation in criminal offenses. A comparison with Spanish law shows that trading in influence has been specifically regulated under Articles 428 to 430 of the Spanish Penal Code. Therefore, stronger criminal law regulation is needed in Indonesia so that trading in influence can be regulated more clearly as a criminal offense while ensuring legal certainty and distinguishing it from legitimate forms of influence.
