Kejahatan Transnasional Terorganisir di Wilayah Perbatasan: Studi Modus Operandi Penyelundupan Narkotika Riau dan Malaysia

Abstract

The transformation of issues in international politics has led to a shift from traditional security issues (war and military) to non-traditional security issues (human security). One form of non-traditional security threat is the transnational crime activity of narcotics smuggling in Southeast Asia. The Southeast Asian region has an area of around 4.4 million KM2 and is known as the "Golden Triangle" narcotics production area on the border of Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar. One of the destination countries for smuggling narcotics in the Southeast Asian region is Indonesia and Riau Province is one of the gateways for the illegal entry of narcotics from other countries, especially Malaysia. This paper aims to analyze the modus operandi of transnational crime in narcotics smuggling in the border regions of Riau and Malaysia. This paper uses a qualitative method using interviews with research informants. The results of this study indicate that the modus operandi of narcotics smuggling in the border regions of Indonesia and Malaysia is carried out by sea along the coastline of the border provinces of Riau and Malaysia. Narcotics are neatly wrapped and installed GPS devices then smuggled at night by using the services of fishermen as a courier. This seawater smuggling route was chosen due to several factors, namely: the proximity of the territorial waters, the number of unofficial or illegal ports, the lack of surveillance patrols along the water area and the professionalism of law enforcement officers in the border region.

Kajian Kriminologi Terhadap Penanggulangan Kasus Penyelundupan Narkoba Yang Didominasi Melalui Perairan Selat Malaka

“…Merebaknya perdagangan narkoba ilegal dan persebarannya di Indonesia ini disebabkan oleh dua faktor, yakni; (1) adanya permintaan dari konsumen secara terus menerus yang berarti kebutuhan terhadap pasokan atau cadangan narkoba harus terpenuhi melalui kegiatan impor narkoba. (2) Kawasan di Indonesia terkenal sebagai wilayah yang memiliki kondisi geografis yang strategis sehingga Indonesia dianggap berpotensi untuk perdagangan narkoba, (Prayuda R, 2020).…”

The Relevance of Islamic Law to Criminal Sanctions for Narcotics Users in Indonesia

“…Narcotics can be smuggled using fishing boats and sailing to remote island mainland points with minimal supervision. Trafficking narcotics by sea is more accessible and has fewer obstacles than on land (Prayuda, 2020).…”

“…This is, of course, very concerning for the government. Drug cases are thriving in urban areas and have penetrated into rural and remote areas (Prayuda, 2020).…”
