Peran Kejaksaan dalam Upaya Pemberantasan Mafia Tanah di Kejaksaan Negeri Belawan

Abstract

Land mafia is an organized crime involving various parties to illegally control land through document forgery, land grabbing, and collusion with corrupt officials. The Belawan District Attorney's Office, as a law enforcement institution, has a strategic role in eradicating land mafia in accordance with the mandate of the Attorney General's Circular Letter Number 16 of 2021. This research examines three main issues: First, how legal regulations govern the authority of the Belawan District Attorney's Office in addressing land-related crimes. Second, how the prosecutor's office plays its role in handling land-related crimes. Third, what obstacles exist and what resolution efforts are made in eradicating land crimes committed by land mafia. The research method used is normative legal research with a statutory approach and case approach. Data collection was conducted through literature study of laws and regulations, official documents, publications, and research results. Data analysis uses a qualitative approach with the framework of legal system theory, law enforcement theory, and legal certainty theory. Research findings show that the authority of the Belawan District Attorney's Office is based on comprehensive laws and regulations. The Prosecutor's role is realized through the establishment of the Land Mafia Eradication Team coordinated by the Intelligence Division involving all divisions (General Crimes, Special Crimes, Civil and State Administration, Military Crimes) with systematically implemented handling mechanisms. The complexity of obstacles faced and resolution efforts are carried out through a three-pillar approach: pre-emptive, preventive, and repressive.
