  • The Digital Unfitness of Mutual Legal Assistance
    'Brill', 2018
    Co-Authors: E. De ,busser
    Abstract:

    Any crime could generate digital evidence. That is a reality law enforcement authorities across the world need to face. The volatile and “unterritorial” nature of the evidence means that international cooperation in criminal matters is confronted with new questions. One of these questions is whether the traditional cooperation mechanism, Mutual Legal Assistance, is a viable way of working. Due to its time-consuming and cumbersome functioning combined with the lack of a faster alternative, countries have developed unilateral and extraterritorial methods of evidence gathering. This paper zooms in on this development and the risks it entails.Cybersecurity en cybergovernanc

  • EU-US Digital Data Exchange to Combat Financial Crime: Fast is the New Slow
    2018
    Co-Authors: E. De ,busser
    Abstract:

    Criminal offenses with the most different modi operandi and levels of complexity can generate digital evidence, whether or not the actual crime is committed by using information and communication technology (ICT). The digital data that could be used as evidence in a later criminal prosecution is mostly in the hands of private companies who provide services on the Internet. These companies often store their customers’ data on cloud servers that are not necessarily located in the same jurisdiction as the company. Law enforcement and prosecution authorities then need to take two steps that are not exclusive for evidence of a digital nature. First, they need to discover where the data is located—with which company and in which jurisdiction. Second, they need to obtain the data. In considering digital evidence, the last step, however, is complicated by new issues that form the focus of this paper. The first concern is the practice by companies to dynamically distribute data over globally spread data centers in the blink of an eye. This is a practical concern as well as a Legal concern. The second issue is the slowness of the currently applicable international Legal framework that has not yet been updated to a fast-paced society where increasingly more evidence is of a digital nature. The slowness of traditional Mutual Legal Assistance may be no news. The lack of a suitable Legal framework for competent authorities that need to obtain digital evidence in a cross-border manner, nonetheless, creates a landscape of diverse initiatives by individual states that try to remedy this situation. A third issue is the position that companies are put in by the new EU proposal to build a Legal framework governing production orders for digital evidence. With companies in the driver’s seat of a cross-border evidence gathering operation, guarantees of the traditional Mutual Legal Assistance framework seem to be dropped. A fourth issue is the position of data protection safeguards. US based companies make for significant data suppliers for criminal investigations conducted by EU based authorities. Conflicting Legal regimes affect the efficiency of data transfers as well as the protection of personal data to citizens.

  • sharing investigation specific data with law enforcement an international approach
    Social Science Research Network, 2014
    Co-Authors: Gail Kent
    Abstract:

    The paper aims to better define and then bridge identifiable gaps in the mechanisms and safeguards around the sharing of user data between law enforcement in one jurisdiction and internet providers in another for the purposes of criminal investigation. This is often described as ‘the Mutual Legal Assistance (MLAT) problem’, after the existing international frameworks used to obtain evidence - including communications data - across borders. There are, however, alternatives to MLAT available in differing circumstances, and this in itself adds to the problem.

  • KAJIAN HUKUM TERHADAP PERJANJIAN Mutual Legal Assistance RI-KONFEDERASI SWISS DALAM PEMBERANTASAN KORUPSI DI TINJAU DARI UU NO. 1 TAHUN 2006 TENTANG PERJANJIAN TIMBAL BALIK DALAM MASALAH PIDANA
    LEX CRIMEN, 2021
    Co-Authors: Andries, Tamar T. K.
    Abstract:

    Tujuan dilakukannya penelitian ini yaitu untuk mengetahui bagaimana Kedudukan Mutual Legal Assistance (MLA) dalam pengembalian Aset Tindak Pidana Korupsi dan bagaimana perjanjian Mutual Legal Assistance (MLA) Republik Indonesia-Konfederasi Swiss dalam memberantas Korupsi di mana dengan metode penelitian hukum normatif disimpulkan: 1. Perkembangan teknologi informasi dan transportasi global diringi dengan perkembangan tindak pidana yang tidak lagi mengenal batas yurisdiksi, sehingga penanggulangannya membutuhkan penanganan bersama negara-negara dunia. Banyak pelaku kejahatan yang kemudian melarikan diri atau menyimpan hasil kejahatannya di luar negara asalnya dengan berbagai tujuan. Termasuk menghindari pajak maupun menyelamatkan aset dari hasil kejahatan. Bantuan timbal balik dalam masalah pidana merupakan salah satu cara menghentikan tindakan curang pelaku tindak pidana yang hendak menyembunyikan aset maupun mengindari pajak atas hasil tindak pidana yang dilakukan. 2. Bagi Indonesia, Konfederasi Swiss adalah negara yang memiliki potensi untuk dijadikan sebagai tempat bersembunyi maupun menyimpan aset hasil kejahatan tersebut, sehingga kerja sama Indonesia dan Konfederasi Swiss tentang bantuan timbal balik dalam masalah pidana merupakan bentuk keseriusan pemerintah Indonesia dan Konfederasi Swiss dalam upaya penanggulangan kejahatan transnasional. Pengesahan Perjanjian Bantuan Timbal Balik dalam Masalah Pidana antara Republik Indonesia dan Konfederasi Swiss harus segera dilakukan mengingat Indonesia telah menandatangani perjanjian Pada tanggal 4 Februari 2019. Perjanjian tersebut memberikan syarat bagi Indonesia maupun Konfederasi Swiss sebagai negara pihak untuk mengesahkan perjanjian dimaksud berdasarkan hukum nasional negara masing-masing. Indonesia melakukan pengesahan dengan Undang-Undang disebabkan materi muatan perjanjian tersebut berkenaan dengan masalah politik, keamanan, dan kedaulatan negara serta dilandasi dengan iktikad baik Republik Indonesia untuk menerapkan Perjanjian Bantuan Timbal Balik dalam Masalah Pidana antara Republik Indonesia dan Konfederasi Swiss.Kata kunci: korupsi

  • Bantuan Hukum Timbal Balik dalam Penanganan Kejahatan Transnasional: Studi Kasus Indonesia-Swiss
    'Faculty of Education and Teacher Training Jambi University', 2021
    Co-Authors: Yuwono Teguh, Kusniati Retno, Ardianto Budi
    Abstract:

    Transnational crime is a cross-border crime that has troubled many states. In enforcing the criminal law of a states, sometimes it is difficult for the state to pursue transnational criminals because of its cross-border nature, so that the differences in jurisdiction between countries make it difficult to enforce the law. For this reason, in order not to be hindered by the cross-border nature, the states concerned can cooperate between states using the Mutual Legal Assistance Agreement. Mutual Legal Assistance is an international Legal instrument that is widely used by countries as a tool to take action and prevent crimes that are transnational in nature. With this agreement, more effective law enforcement can be carried out and make it easier for law enforcers to move into areas with different jurisdictions. This research is a normative juridical research based on secondary data with a statutory approach. This article concludes that Mutual Legal Assistance will greatly play a role in law enforcement on transnational crimes involving Indonesia-SwitzerlandKejahatan transnasional merupakan kejahatan lintas batas negara yang sudah banyak meresahkan banyak negara. Dalam penegakan hukum pidana suatu negara, terkadang negara sulit untuk mengejar pelaku kejahata transnasional karena sifatnya yang lintas batas negara, sehingga adanya perbedaan yurisdiksi antar negara menyulitkan penegakkan hukum. Untuk itu, supaya tidak terhalang adanya sifat lintas batas negara, maka negara yang bersangkutan dapat melakukan kerja sama antar negara dengan menggunakan Perjanjian Bantuan Hukum Timbal Balik. Mutual Legal Assistance merupakan instrumen hukum internasional yang banyak digunakan negara-negara sebagai alat untuk melakukan penindakan dan pencegahan kejahatan yang sifatnya lintas batas negara. Dengan adanya perjanjian ini maka dapat dilakukan penegakkan hukum yang lebih efektif serta memudahkan penegak hukum untuk bergerak kedalam wilayah yang berbeda yurisdiksinya. Penelitan ini adalah penelitian yuridis normatif  dengan bersumber pada data sekunder dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan (Statute Approach). artikel ini menyimpulkan bahwa bantuan hukum timbal balik sangat akan berperan dalam melakukan penegakan hukum pada kejahatan transnasional yang melibatkan Indonesia-swis

  • BANTUAN HUKUM TIMBAL BALIK DALAM TINDAK PIDANA NARKOTIKA
    'Institut Hindu Dharma Negeri Denpasar', 2021
    Co-Authors: Yogi Arthani, Ni Luh Gede, Andayani Citra, Made Emy
    Abstract:

    Ilicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs is carried out by international networks operating in several countries. Ilicit traffic in narcotic drugs results in huge financial and wealth gains that enable transnational crime organizations to penetrate, pollute and undermine the structure of government, legitimate commercial and financial business, and society at all levels. In dealing with this situation, Indonesia harmonizes the law through Mutual Legal Assistance arrangements. In this study two issues will be discussed namely Legal reform through Mutual Legal Assistance and Mutual Legal Assistance in narcotics crimes.Legal reform is a policy carried out by a country to deal with the situation that occurs in the country. The development of transnational crime was responded by the state through a policy of Mutual Legal Assistance as outlined in the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 1 of 2006 concerning Reciprocal Assistance in Criminal Matters. Cooperation between countries in the process of law enforcement needs to be done to tackle the crime of trafficking in narcotics. Ilicit traffic in narcotic drugs is carried out by involving several countries. Reciprocal Legal Assistance in narcotics crimes can be implemented in three ways, namely diplomatic channels, through central authorities and through direct cooperation between law enforcement agencies.Keywords: Mutual Legal Assistance, Ilicit Traffic, Narcotic Drug
