Abstract

This study aims to identify and understand the criminal sanctions imposed on perpetrators of fuel hoarding, the factors contributing to the occurrence of fuel hoarding offenses, and the efforts made to enforce the law against such acts. The research was conducted from February to April 2024 at the Kendari City Police Department (Polresta Kendari). This study was designed to be comprehensive and objective, with data collected and analyzed qualitatively, then described analytically. The findings indicate that criminal sanctions for fuel hoarding offenders refer to Law Number 22 of 2001 concerning Oil and Natural Gas. The factors contributing to fuel hoarding include technical factors, speculative motives, political-economic influences, and the significant price gap between industrial fuel and subsidized fuel.Efforts to enforce the law against fuel hoarding include: officially announcing the occurrence of fuel hoarding, rejecting or at least delaying all business feasibility decisions or activity approvals submitted by companies previously involved in fuel hoarding, rejecting or at least postponing the issuance of business permits for entrepreneurs who have committed the offense, and classifying companies found guilty of fuel hoarding as “blacklisted” entities.
