Tinjauan Yuridis Tindak Pidana Pengangkutan Kayu Hasil Hutan Tanpa Memiliki Surat Keterangan Sahnya Hasil Hutan (Studi Putusan Nomor : 25/Pid.Sus/2022/PN.Skg)

Abstract

The research shows that the judge's decision in case Number 25/Pid.Sus/2022/PN.Skg, applying Article 88 paragraph (1) letter a of Law Number 18 of 2013 on the Prevention and Eradication of Forest Destruction, is appropriate. The judge considered that transporting forest wood without the proper official certificate is a criminal act that violates the laws and regulations, which in this study is classified as a special criminal offense in the forestry sector, regulated by Law Number 18 of 2013 on the Prevention and Eradication of Forest Destruction. The judge's considerations, based on the case facts, led to a criminal sanction for the offender transporting forest wood without the proper official certificate in Decision Number 25/Pid.Sus/2022/PN.Skg. However, the judge's decision leaned more towards the perspective of quantity rather than the quality of the act, resulting in a very light sentence that fails to provide a deterrent effect, especially when compared to the significant losses incurred by the state.
