The results of the study concluded that in Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code, in addition to two forms of error (intentional and negligence), it also regulates unlawful acts that can be held criminally accountable to corporations and shareholders where each article formulation requires that every act and the consequences of the act must be intended by the perpetrator to be held criminally accountable. The imposition of corporate criminal liability is regulated in Articles 45-50 of Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code, strengthening the teaching/doctrine of piercing the corporate veil in imposing criminal liability on shareholders who commit crimes.
