Abstract

Economic crimes in Indonesia, such as corruption, money laundering, and financial fraud, have shown significant growth and increasingly complex patterns in recent years. These dynamics demand innovative and integrated strategies from law enforcement agencies. This research examines the exercise of investigative authority by the Attorney General’s Office of Indonesia, focusing on both its implementation and practical implications. Employing normative legal research supported by empirical data, the study applies case and legislative approaches analyzed through qualitative description. Findings reveal the dual realities of economic crime investigations: notable achievements supported by institutional frameworks and legal mandates, as well as persistent challenges including procedural limitations, coordination barriers, and limited resources. The analysis further identifies factors contributing to investigative success, alongside obstacles that hinder effectiveness. Beyond mapping these realities, the study evaluates the empirical implications of investigative practices for law enforcement policies. The findings highlight the necessity of integrating empirical approaches to capture field realities and inform responsive legal strategies. As a result, the research proposes policy recommendations aimed at strengthening institutional capacity, refining investigative mechanisms, and enhancing overall law enforcement integrity. Ultimately, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of how empirical perspectives can improve the effectiveness of economic crime investigations in Indonesia.
