Abstract

Money laundering is the process of concealing or disguising the origins of assets derived from criminal activities to make them appear legitimate. This practice has significant impacts on the stability of financial systems and the economy as a whole. This research employs a doctrinal research method. The process of money laundering consists of three stages: placement (depositing criminal proceeds into the financial system), layering (separating the illicit proceeds from their source through complex transactions), and integration (using the ostensibly legitimate funds for various purposes). n the integration stage, perpetrators often utilize the services of notaries to create authentic deeds, making transactions appear lawful, even though the provided data may be inaccurate. This can result in notaries becoming involved in legal cases due to perceived negligence. Therefore, this study aims to examine the legal protection for notaries in cases of money laundering. Research Findings that Notaries can be deemed to be complicit in money laundering if they meet the elements outlined in Articles 55 and 56 of the Criminal Code (KUHP) as well as the elements in the Money Laundering Act (PPTPPU). The law does not offer protection for notaries who are unaware that their client's funds originate from criminal activities. However, the PPTPPU provides protection for notaries who report suspicious financial transactions.
