“…Some controversies and challenges may arise, and policies must take into account security and fairness in the context of applicable laws.

“…Corruption poses a threat to societal well-being and must be addressed by restoring the damages incurred by society due to these illicit activities. (Luna-Pla & Nicolás-Carlock, 2020;Luna-Pla & Nicolás-Carlock, 2020;Rienks, 2023), the impact of corruption is large and negative (Focacci, Kovac, & Spruk, 2023;Chih et al, 2023).

Corruption has existed for many years in the world. Therefore, to overcome these problems, researchers need to apply the philosophy of restorative justice. The purpose of this research is to examine the use of a restorative justice system as a final resolution effort in addressing corruption crimes in Indonesia. Therefore, the restorative justice approach is needed as the main solution in resolving corruption crimes in Indonesia. The research methodology used is normative juridical. The results show that restorative justice as an effort to resolve corruption crimes in Indonesia is an approach that emphasizes the restoration of damaged relationships due to corruption crimes by involving all parties involved, including perpetrators, victims, and the community. This research has contributed to the improvement of restorative justice arrangements for unlawful acts of corruption in order to optimize the recovery of state financial losses.

“…Sihaloho and Herlan (2020) stated that from the report of the State Civil Apparatus Commission there were violations of neutrality by the State Civil Apparatus in the Regional Elections during the 2015-2018 period. A study conducted by Rienks (2023) shows Dutch voters punish parties whose politicians show incompetence or are involved in incidents of corruption. Even though regulations prohibit this practice, in reality political dowries are difficult to prove.…”

Since the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) was established in 2003-2022, KPK has handled 20 Governors involved in corruption cases. This study took a sample of 10 governors, or 50% of the number of governors handled by the Corruption Eradication Commission, taking into account the availability of court decision data on the Supreme Court website and population representation from 2013 to 2022. A total of six governors were convicted on charges of bribery-receiving corruption related to local budget management. In handling these cases, it is necessary to calculate state losses by the BPK RI auditors due to the acts of corruption committed. Law Number 15 of 2004 and Law Number 15 of 2006 emphasize the need to examine state financial losses in corruption cases to determine the amount of state losses. These two provisions are not yet binding on Corruption Eradication Commission investigators to ask the Audit Board of the Republic of Indonesia to calculate state financial losses because it is considered that the provisions for requesting an audit are not strictly regulated in Law Number 31 of 1999. This requires harmonization of the regulations governing acts of corruption with those governing the calculation of state losses. Analysis of the charges against the court decision indicates that the calculation of state financial losses by the Audit Board of the Republic of Indonesia (BPK RI) or Finance and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP) is not used in determining the real and definite amount of state financial losses. The judge fully relied on the amount of bribes received or the amount of corruption enjoyed by the defendant in the indictment as a loss to the state, which must be returned as replacement money. In the indictment, there was no argument for using bribes received as losses to the state, which is an obligation to return to recover the said state losses regulated in Law Number 1 of 2004.
