This research aims to analyze the effectiveness of criminalization in the case of money laundering in Indonesia. Money laundering is a complex crime that is closely related to predicate crimes such as corruption, narcotics, and organized crime. Despite the existence of various legal instruments such as Law Number 8 Year 2010 on Prevention and Eradication of Money Laundering Crime, challenges in legal implementation remain a major obstacle. This research uses a normative juridical method with a literature study approach to examine criminalization policies in the Indonesian legal system. The results show that although the criminalization policy has provided a strong legal basis, law enforcement is often constrained by the lack of inter-agency coordination, personal data protection, as well as technological adaptation in detecting suspicious transactions. The study also identifies that international collaboration is key in combating transnational money laundering. The conclusion of this study underscores the need for continuous evaluation of existing regulations and capacity building of law enforcement to achieve effective eradication of money laundering in Indonesia.
