Indonesia has closed the book on its colonial-era criminal law framework. On A Matter of Law, global investigations head Stephanie Yonekura connects with Jakarta-based experts Chalid Heyder and Teguh Darmawan to dissect the new Criminal Code and Criminal Procedure Code which came into force on January 2, 2026.

The panel explores how these changes introduce Western-style enforcement mechanisms—including explicit corporate liability and deferred prosecution agreements (DPAs)—fundamentally altering the risk landscape for multinationals.
