KAJIAN YURIDIS TERHADAP KORUPSI DALAM ORGANISA3SI INTERNASIONAL FIFA MENURUT UNITED NATIONS CONVENTION AGAINST CORRUPTION (UNCAC) 2003 DAN IMPLEMENTASI DI INDONESIA

Abstract

Abstract

This study legally examines corruption within the Fation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) through the lens of the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) of 2003, emphasizing its implications for legal implementation in Indonesia. Revelations from scandals like the 2015 FIFA Gate, alleged bribery in the 2018 Russia and 2022 Qatar World Cup bids, and irregularities in sponsor contracts and broadcast rights highlight systematic, transnational organized crime patterns. Applying UNCAC as the primary framework, FIFA's corrupt practices align with key provisions: bribery of public officials (Article 15), private sector bribery (Article 21), money laundering (Article 23), and trading in influence or abuse of functions (Articles 18-19). Despite FIFA's status as a private international entity, UNCAC principles are pertinent for evaluating its governance. A comparative analysis of UNCAC and FIFA's internal instruments Statutes, Code of Ethics, and Disciplinary Code reveals critical deficiencies. FIFA's soft law mechanisms lack criminal enforcement, relying on national jurisdictions of UNCAC parties, such as the United States and Switzerland, which enforce domestic criminal laws. For Indonesia, a UNCAC signatory via Law No. 7 of 2006, the study underscores the need to align national legislation including the Corruption Law, Money Laundering Law, Mutual Legal Assistance (MLA) Law, and Extradition Law to address cross-border sports corruption. Recommendations include bolstering FIFA's compliance with UNCAC standards, criminalizing private sector bribery and influence trading in Indonesian law, and intensifying global cooperation for asset recovery. This research contributes to international criminal law scholarship and offers actionable guidance for Indonesian stakeholders combating corruption in global organizations
