Penegakan Hukum Pidana Terhadap Pelaku Penipuan Dengan Berkedok Investasi Online
Abstract
This study examines criminal law enforcement against perpetrators of online investment fraud, using a case study in Talaga Hamlet, Luhu Village, Huamual District, West Seram Regency. The rapid development of information technology has opened up opportunities for various new forms of crime, one of which is online investment fraud, which can cause material harm to the community. This phenomenon is widespread and has not yet been legally prosecuted, creating unrest among the community, particularly in Talaga Hamlet, Luhu Village. Therefore, this study was conducted to examine in-depth the factors influencing the slow law enforcement against this crime and to find solutions that can improve its effectiveness. The method used was empirical legal research, utilizing primary and secondary data, and data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation, in Talaga Hamlet, Luhu Village. The results indicate that the main factors influencing victims’ failure to report are family ties, ignorance of the legal process, and the perception that participating in investment activities is their own personal choice. Meanwhile, the slow law enforcement is caused by the lack of official reports from victims and low community participation as witnesses. This research emphasizes the need for comprehensive legal outreach to the public and the increased role of law enforcement officials in ensuring justice, as well as the importance of digital literacy to prevent the public from falling prey to online fraud.
