Legal Implications of Civil and Criminal Law on Investment Fraud Under the Guise of Online Business
The development of digital technology has opened new opportunities in online platform-based investments, but it has also increased the risk of fraud disguised as legal businesses. The prevalence of online investment fraud in Indonesia shows that national laws have not fully been able to respond to the complexity of increasingly sophisticated and cross-border digital crimes. This study aims to examine the legal implications, both civil and criminal, of online investment fraud practices and to propose an integrative and adaptive legal approach. The method used is Systematic Literature Review (SLR), by reviewing scientific articles, regulations, and relevant court decisions from 2014 to 2024, based on the PRISMA stages. Research findings indicate that perpetrators employ various modalities such as Ponzi schemes, illegal MLM, and cryptocurrency manipulation, targeting communities with low legal literacy. From the civil perspective, challenges arise regarding the validity of digital contracts and the execution of compensation, while from the criminal perspective, proving elements of fraud and tracking down offenders poses significant challenges. Additionally, the dualism of legal approaches weakens and makes victim protection ineffective. This study concludes that civil and criminal law must synergize through regulatory reform, strengthening institutions, and enhancing public legal literacy to ensure justice and security in digital investment. Legal reforms based on inter-institutional collaboration and responsive to digital dynamics are key to breaking the cycle of fraud that undermines public trust in the national legal and economic system.

Analysis Of The Effect Of Economic Growth and Capital Expenditures On Regional Financial Independence In Provinces On The Island Of Java
Regional autonomy gives regional governments the authority to manage finances independently, including in terms of fiscal decentralization. Over the last decade, Regional Original Income (PAD) in Indonesia has increased by 100%. However, to measure whether this increase is sufficient for regional needs, the Regional Financial Independence Ratio (RKKD) is calculated. This research aims to analyze the influence of economic growth and capital expenditure on regional financial independence in the provinces of Java Island during the 2013–2023 period. The method used is multiple linear regression analysis with panel data from six provinces on the island of Java. The research results show that partially, economic growth has a positive and significant effect on regional financial independence. However, capital expenditure does not have a significant effect. Simultaneously, economic growth and capital expenditure have a significant effect on regional financial independence. These findings indicate that increasing economic growth can strengthen regional fiscal independence, especially through optimizing taxes and levies. However, the effectiveness of capital expenditure still needs to be improved to better support regional independence. The government is expected to focus more on increasing regional revenues through more effective tax collection strategies and more productive allocation of capital expenditure. In addition, fiscal policy should consider differences in economic potential between regions so that the distribution of transfer funds is more targeted.
