Abstract

Government procurement of outsourcing services plays a strategic role in supporting the effectiveness of public services, but is also vulnerable to corruption, particularly through abuse of authority by authorized officials. This study aims to analyze the forms of abuse of authority in the procurement of outsourcing services that can be qualified as corruption and to examine the criminal liability of the perpetrators. The method used is normative juridical legal research with a statutory and conceptual approach through literature study. The results of the study indicate that irregularities in the procurement of outsourcing services include tender manipulation, budget inflation, appointment of service providers that do not comply with procedures, and acceptance of bribes or gratuities. These actions fulfill the elements of corruption as stipulated in laws and regulations, particularly regarding abuse of authority that harms state finances. Criminal liability can be imposed if the elements of a criminal act, fault, and ability to be responsible are met. This study is expected to contribute to the development of criminal law and serve as a reference in efforts to prevent corruption in the government procurement sector.
