Criminal Sanctions for the Misuse of Mypertamina QR Codes in the Distribution of Subsidized Fuel
Keywords:
Criminal Sanctions, QR Code Misuse, MyPertamina, Subsidized Fuel Distribution, Karawang CaseAbstract
The MyPertamina application is a digital service that facilitates the distribution of subsidized fuel and enhances monitoring of its distribution. However, the misuse of QR Codes in Karawang Regency highlights weaknesses in both regulations and digital oversight. This study employs a normative legal approach by examining relevant legislation while considering the presumption of innocence to maintain objectivity in the analysis. The findings indicate that the misuse of QR Codes to obtain subsidized fuel illegally, including hoarding and reselling, violates distribution regulations, harms state finances, and involves technological manipulation. These actions demonstrate elements of intent and are subject to criminal sanctions. The case falls under concursus realis, where multiple offenses occur independently in separate events, making the Electronic Information and Transactions Law and the Oil and Gas Law more applicable than the Criminal Code.
