The habit of lightly punishing corruptors who return state losses is the basis for the background of this research. There is reason to worry that the return of state losses is used as an excuse to avoid severe
punishment, making it ineffective as a deterrent. Finding and understanding legal studies on corruptors who return state losses is the purpose of this research. A normative legal study was applied, focusing on the analysis of written legal products and the study of related legal documents. Based on the results of the study, it was found that Law No. 31 of 1999 together with Law No. 20 of 2001 collectively serve as the legal basis for various issues related to corruption. Article 18 of the Anti-Corruption Law stipulates the procedure for returning state losses and stipulates that violators must be fined an amount equal to or greater than the value of the assets obtained corruptly. This analysis concludes that reduced sentences should not be based on the return of state losses, regardless of the importance of the return. Consequently, special rules should be made to emphasize that the state must compensate for its losses, but this should not eliminate the severe criminal penalties faced by corrupt officials
