LEGAL ANALYSIS OF CRIMINAL SANCTIONS AGAINST PERPETRATORS OF CRIMINALS CARRYING OUT OIL AND GAS BUSINESS ACTIVITIES WITHOUT A TRADING BUSINESS LICENSE

Abstract

In practice, there are still many people who trade in fuel oil without a trade permit in large quantities, even though Law Number 22 of 2001 and its implementing regulations have stipulated that the sale of fuel oil in the form of gasoline or diesel must have a permit first, in accordance with the provisions that have been previously determined. The factors causing the occurrence of criminal acts without a license to carry out oil business activities, there are two main factors that are the cause, namely internal factors and external factors. Internal factors are factors originating from within the perpetrator, namely in the form of intentions, economic factors and moral and educational factors. External factors are factors originating from outside the perpetrator, such as lack of supervision of illegal fuel. Based on the problems raised, it is known that efforts to prevent and overcome criminal acts without a permit to carry out petroleum business activities are through preventive, repressive and reformative measures by law enforcement officers and community leaders. It is recommended that the police and related agencies be more active in supervising the implementation of petroleum business activities.
