Abstract

Corruption is a worldwide problem that damages nations and hinders progress: two emerging democracies,
Indonesia and Colombia, face difficulties in fighting corruption. This research aims to study and compare the laws
of criminal acts of corruption in Indonesia and Colombia from a normative and implementative point of view. The
results show similarities and differences in corruption laws in Indonesia and Colombia. The similarities lie in the
definition of corruption, the subject of the crime, and the object of the crime. The differences lie in the types of
corruption, elements of criminal acts, and criminal sanctions. How corruption laws are implemented in the two
countries is also different. The KPK in Indonesia and the Fiscalía General de la Nación in Colombia are specialized
institutions that deal with corruption. The difference lies in how effective law enforcement is, as Indonesia still
faces obstacles in eradicating corruption, whereas Colombia has made great progress.
