The phenomenon of arisan as a trust-based fund-raising mechanism is widespread in society, but its practice is prone to abuse through manipulative schemes that result in collective losses. This study aims to analyse the forms of criminal liability for perpetrators of arisan default by examining the fulfilment of the elements of criminal fraud and embezzlement. The research method uses a normative juridical approach supported by empirical data from case handling at law firms. The results show that a series of tricks, unauthorised control of funds, and failure to fulfil payment obligations indicate the cumulative fulfilment of the elements of Article 486 and Article 492 of the Criminal Code. Criminal liability is imposed on the perpetrator based on the offence of intent with the aim of obtaining unlawful gains. This study confirms that failure to pay arisan, preceded by the manipulation of trust, is not merely a civil breach of contract, but a criminal act.

The illegal acquisition of land certificates is a serious problem in Indonesia's land law system because it has the potential to eliminate legal certainty regarding land rights. Certificates that are supposed to serve as strong proof of rights can still be obtained thru unauthorized possession, manipulation of legal data, or deviations from administrative procedures. This research aims to analyze the acquisition of illegal land certificates from a land law perspective and its legal implications for legal certainty. The research method used is normative legal research with a statutory approach and a conceptual approach, examining Law Number 5 of 1960, Government Regulation Number 24 of 1997, and Government Regulation Number 18 of 2021. The research results indicate that land certificates obtained illegally contain legal defects and can be revoked, and also have administrative, civil, and criminal legal implications that directly disrupt legal certainty regarding land rights. Therefore, consistent law enforcement and strengthening the land registration system are needed to ensure legal protection and certainty of land rights in Indonesia.
