Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of the Jeneponto District Attorney's Office in implementing the principle of reverse burden of proof in corruption cases, and to identify factors that influence the success or obstacles in implementing the principle. The method used is an empirical method with a legal approach, namely combining observations of legal practices with normative studies. The results of the study indicate that although the principle of proof is legally recognized in Indonesia through Law Number 31 of 1999 in conjunction with Law Number 20 of 2001, its implementation is still limited and faces obstacles, such as minimal transparency and lack of technical understanding in the field. This study concludes that to optimize the principle of reverse burden of proof, improvements are needed in terms of legal substance, human resources, and synergy between law enforcement agencies.
