PERAN NCB INTERPOL INDONESIA DALAM MENANGANI KASUS TRANSNATIONAL INTERNET FRAUD TAHUN 2011-2014

Abstract

Indonesia is one among countries that has a growing rate of internet users.
As any other country in the world, various activities in Indonesia are held in
the internet, such as communication. Despite its positive side, internet has a
negative side that allows criminals to commit crimes within itself, such as
fraud. This kind of crime is executed by the criminal by deceiving its potential
victim with false information in order to fulfill its personal gains through the
very function of the internet, communication channel. The condition will get
worse as the crime is undertaken transcending national boundary which
make it more difficult for law enforcement agency to solve regarding the
difference of jurisdiction. To deal with the case, Indonesia has been in an
international police cooperation called Interpol and works through its
National Central Bureau, NCB Interpol, in Indonesia. This research aims to
know the role of NCB Interpol Indonesia in handling transnational internet
fraud case and to analyze the efficiency of it. This research is descriptive
analytical which employs qualitative method and theory of international
organization with liberalism paradigm to analyze the data collected through
literature studies, documentation, and interview as well. The result shows
that NCB Interpol Indonesia has the role as a facilitator of the two parties,
Indonesia and Interpol, and is efficient enough in the field.
