Abstrak

In the current research conducted by the author, normative legal research or normative juridical research is used. In this type of legal research, law is often conceptualized as what is written in legislation (law in books) or law is conceptualized as a rule or norm which is a benchmark for human behavior. The results of the research in this thesis are the application of the law to the crime of forgery of letters in Decision Number: 1937/Pid.B/2020/PN Mdn based on legal facts both through witness statements, statements of defendants and evidence and is based on juridical considerations, namely the indictment and demands of the public prosecutor proven to have committed a criminal act of forging letters. In this case, because the prosecutor used alternative charges, namely the first indictment of Article 263 paragraph (1) (forgery of letters) and the second indictment of Article 378 (fraud), the judge in deciding this case ruled out the second indictment because the first indictment had been proven juridically. The inhibiting factors in dealing with these fake letters are the lack of equipment, the absence of comparative evidence in laboratory forensic laboratory tests, and the inability to prove the authenticity of letters that are suspected to be fake.
