Abstract

Legal protection for victims to regain their rights in the First Travel case is urgently needed for
victims of money laundering by First Travel. Indeed, the state has a legal basis to confiscate the victim's assets,
but the state is deemed not entitled to take the victim's assets because the source of the money is not from the
state and the money that is the subject of the crime of money laundering is the victim's money, not state money.
This can clarify the weakness of the criminal justice system in regards to recovering losses to victims, not even
the state benefiting from the judge's decision.
The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of the Supreme Court decision Number 3096 K /
Pid.sus / 2018 on First Travel victims, to find out how the state should protect victims and the rights of victims
of money laundering by First Travel and to find out what legal remedies can be made. carried out by First
Travel victims after the verdict. The research method used in this thesis uses normative legal research

weaknesses of the criminal justice system that do not consider the interests of and victim rights. Second, the
state should protect victims by providing legal assistance to incapacitated victims and becoming a forum for
the community to obtain protection, and raising the Umrah for First Travel victims or returning half of the
victim's money. Author's suggestion, First, it is hoped that in the future in cases of money laundering such as
First Travel, the money that is the subject of this crime comes from public money. The judge should be wiser in
weighing the decision to transfer the money to the state which should be returned to the victim who feels
