Tinjauan Yuridis Dalam Peredaran Uang Palsu Di Kota Makassar Analisis Putusan No. 863/Pid.B/2020/Pn.Mks

Abstract

ABSTRACT: With the development of science and technology, crimes such as the distribution of counterfeit money have become easier to commit. Counterfeiting money triggers various crimes, including terrorism, political crimes, and money laundering. This research focuses on the causal factors of counterfeit money distribution and the sanctions imposed on perpetrators. The causal factors include endogenous factors, such as individual characteristics (age 15-25 years, education level, religious beliefs), and exogenous factors, such as family and social environment. Disharmonious families and poor social environments, as well as difficult economic conditions and technological advances, increase the risk of this crime. Perpetrators of counterfeit money distribution are subject to severe sanctions under Law No. 7/2011, which carries a penalty of up to 15 years in prison and a fine of 50 billion rupiah.
