- Abstract
The state’s finances are severely harmed by crimes committed in the tourism industry, such as those involving grants for the growth of the industry that were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The objective of this research is to examine the legal ramifications of the state repaying money lost due to corruption in the administration of tourism subsidies, as well as the criminal accountability of those who commit such crimes. This study was written using a statutory approach and normative legal research methodologies. Specifically, it examined the laws and rules pertaining to criminal culpability, grants for tourism, criminal acts of corruption, and procedures for recovering financial losses for the state. The study’s findings indicate that different articles of Law No. 31/1999 on the Eradication of Corruption and its modifications may be used against those who commit corruption in tourism grants. In addition to being subject to fines, jail time, or both, offenders may also be expected to reimburse the state for any monetary losses incurred as a result of their illegal acts of corruption. The state may be able to recoup these losses through legal, administrative, or civil processes. This research is expected to provide an understanding of the criminal responsibility of perpetrators of corruption in tourism grants and the mechanism for recovering state financial losses as a juridical basis for improving the management system for tourism grants and more effective law enforcement with the aim of minimizing corruption in the tourism sector.
