Abstract

The crime of embezzlement in office is closely related to morality and trust in the honesty of individuals. These crimes, which are regulated in the Criminal Code (KUHP), are often difficult to identify because the perpetrators are in one institution, organization, or company. This study uses a juridical-normative approach to analyze legal norms related to embezzlement in office as a form of justice for the aggrieved party. Through a legislative, conceptual, and case study approach, this study explores relevant regulations, legal concepts, and court decisions, such as Decision Number 375/Pid.B/2024/PN Jkt.Brt and Decision Number 396/Pid.B/2024/PN Jkt.Brt. The sources of legal materials used include primary, secondary, and tertiary materials obtained through literature studies. Qualitative descriptive analysis techniques are applied to systematically manage data, while content analysis methods help to understand the meaning and relevance of the law in the context of this research. The results of the study show that the factors that influence the behavior of embezzlement in positions by employees include financial, psychological, and work environment factors. The study also found that embezzlement could be prevented by raising awareness of employee ethics and integrity and strengthening management oversight. Criminal law liability for company losses must be upheld to provide justice and sanctions for the perpetrators, in accordance with Article 374 of the Criminal Code
