Penerapan Konsep Kecurangan dalam KUHP Baru terhadap Praktik Penagihan Ilegal oleh Mata Elang Palsu

Abstract

This research examines the practice of fraudulent debt collectors known as “false eagle eyes” who conduct vehicle collection without legal authority, analyzed through the concept of fraud in the new Indonesian Criminal Code. These individuals often use false identities, positions, and unauthorized information to pressure victims into surrendering their vehicles, creating public anxiety and disrupting social order. This study employs a normative legal method by analyzing norms contained in the new Indonesian Criminal Code, regulations issued by the Financial Services Authority, and relevant legal literature. The findings indicate that such practices fulfill the elements of fraud and can be criminally prosecuted for using deception and illegal actions that undermine public security. The new Criminal Code provides a more comprehensive foundation for law enforcement in addressing these illegal collection practices.
