Abstract
Introduction: This study examines the form of criminal liability of public officials involved in corruption crimes, particularly in the misuse of state budgets. The case analyzed is Decision Number 15/Pid.Sus-TPK/2020/PN.MNK involving Ahmad Afit Rumagesan, Chairman of the Fakfak District Parliament for the 2009–2014 period.
Purposes of the Research: This study underscores the importance of strengthening oversight in public financial management to prevent future budget misuse.
Methods of the Research: This research applies a normative juridical method with a case study approach.
Findings of the Research: The findings indicate that the defendant was proven to have misused the treasurer's cash funds for personal purposes without a legitimate legal basis, resulting in a state loss of IDR 432,425,000. In passing the verdict, the judge considered the state's financial loss, the defendant's role, and the absence of good faith to return the funds.
