The government officially enacted the National Criminal Code (KUHP) based on Law Number 1 of 2023 and the new Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP) based on Law Number 20 of 2025 on January 2, 2026. Coordinating Minister for Law, Human Rights, Immigration and Corrections Yusril Ihza Mahendra said that the enactment of these two laws marks a new chapter in national law enforcement that is more modern, fair, and rooted in the values ​​of Pancasila and Indonesian culture. Yusril said that this Criminal Procedure Code replaces the old Criminal Procedure Code which was a product of the New Order as stated in Law Number 8 of 1981. Although it was drafted after independence, the old Criminal Procedure Code was deemed not to fully reflect the principles of human rights as they developed after the amendment to the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, so it needed to be updated to support the implementation of the new National Criminal Code.[1]

Furthermore, the Coordinating Minister for Law, Human Rights, and Immigration and Corrections emphasized that the enactment of the new Criminal Code and Criminal Procedure Code is the result of a long process of criminal law reform that began in the 1998 Reform era. The old Criminal Code, which originated from the Wetboek van Strafrecht voor Nederlandsch-Indie of 1918, was deemed no longer relevant to the dynamics of modern Indonesian society because it was repressive, emphasized imprisonment, and paid little attention to restorative justice and human rights protection. The new National Criminal Code, according to Yusril, fundamentally changes the approach to criminal law from retributive to restorative. The goal of punishment is no longer solely to punish the perpetrator, but also to restore the victim, society, and the perpetrator themselves. This approach is reflected in the expansion of alternative punishments such as social work, rehabilitation, and mediation, including an emphasis on medical and social rehabilitation for drug users to reduce overcrowding in correctional institutions.[2]

Moreover, the National Criminal Code also integrates local, customary, and cultural values ​​of Indonesia into the criminal law system. Sensitive provisions, such as extramarital relations, are formulated as complaint offenses to prevent excessive state intervention in the private sphere. Yusril emphasized that the government has prepared 25 government regulations (PP), one presidential regulation (Perpres), and various other derivative regulations to support the transition period. The non-retroactive principle remains in effect, where cases before January 2, 2026, use the old provisions, while cases after that are subject to the new Criminal Code and Criminal Procedure Code.[3] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

Steven Lyons is said to be one of Scotland's most notorious mafia leaders. The 45-year-old was arrested by Indonesian Immigration in Bali following an Interpol alert. The request for Lyons' arrest is believed to have come through Spanish law enforcement. One source understands he is expected to be extradited to Spain. Steven Lyons is said to be the boss of the Lyons clan, originally based in Cumbernauld, North Lanarkshire.[1]

The clan has been embroiled in a bloody feud for over 20 years with its rival, the Glasgow-based Daniel group. In early March 2026, he was reportedly arrested in Bahrain—five months after being released from detention in Dubai. However, in the following weeks, his whereabouts remained a mystery—until he disembarked a plane in Bali. In a statement, the Ngurah Rai Immigration Office said: 'Based on intelligence data, Lyons is suspected of being the leader of an international criminal organization. He is suspected of being the mastermind behind the operation of a number of fictitious companies and of being involved in money laundering.'[2] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

On Monday (July 20, 2020), the British government suspended its extradition treaty with Hong Kong following China's implementation of the National Security Law. Responding to the action, the Chinese Ambassador to the UK asserted that the UK was "blatantly interfering" in China's internal affairs. "China has never interfered in the UK's internal affairs. The UK should do the same with China." Earlier, British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab announced the suspension of the extradition treaty with Hong Kong, citing "uncertainty" about China's implementation of the National Security Law. "I simply say this: the UK is watching and the whole world is watching," he said. Under this new law, if a British citizen is suspected of committing a crime in Hong Kong, he will not be automatically handed over to British authorities to be tried in the UK.[1] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

A Swedish prosecutor has charged a 62-year-old man with allegedly selling his wife's sexual services to more than 120 men. The suspect faces a number of serious charges, including aggravated pimping, rape, and assault. As reported by AFP on Tuesday, March 31, 2026, the man was arrested in late October after his wife reported him to police in northern Sweden. He has remained in custody since then. The indictment alleges that for years the man profited financially by forcing his wife "to perform and submit to sexual acts." He is also accused of creating online advertisements, arranging meetings with clients, monitoring the victim, and pressuring her to engage in sexual activity online to attract more clients. [1]

Furthermore, the defendant is accused of using violence and threats against the victim, including exploiting his wife's fears and drug addiction. Prosecutors described the actions as "cruel exploitation." The indictment also includes numerous threats made to the victim, including warnings of unleashing a "monster." Prosecutor Ida Annerstedt previously stated that authorities had identified approximately 120 individuals suspected of purchasing sexual services. The incident is estimated to have taken place between August 11, 2022, and October 21, 2025.[2] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

Graduate is Having Trouble Collecting Her Diploma After Labeled as "Undesirable Visitor"'.

A Malaysian activist has been denied entry to Singapore and labeled an "undesirable visitor" for her political activities in the country, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said on Friday (March 27, 2026). In a statement, the MHA said the activist, Fadiah Nadwa Fikri, had encouraged young Singaporeans to adopt his "radical style of advocacy." "He encouraged them to go beyond protests, mobilizing students and various communities in Singapore, and engaging in disruptive and violent actions in support of certain causes," the ministry said. "We will not tolerate foreigners interfering in our domestic politics, nor the promotion of unlawful, violent and disruptive methods of civil protest."[1]

In a post on X on Sunday, Fadiah—who received her PhD. from the National University of Singapore (NUS) in January—claimed that she was deported to Malaysia and barred from entering Singapore. She said her academic research focuses on the intellectual history of decolonization and anti-imperialism. Fadiah also stated that she had asked Singapore’s Immigration and Border Protection Agency (ICA) for the reasons for her deportation and entry ban, but was told that authorities “could not disclose them.” The ICA’s refusal of entry notice, which she posted online, stated that she was “not eligible for entry under the current immigration policy.” In another Instagram post, Fadiah stated that she traveled to Singapore on March 22 at the invitation of her former supervisor to give a guest lecture related to her PhD. dissertation.[2] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.
