Economic Analysis of Law can be used to increase the efficiency of handling corruption crimes (TPK) to provide a level of efficiency and a deterrent effect. The purpose of this study is to determine the economic analysis of law in maximizing the looted assets from the crime of corruption. This research is based on judicial normative. The data were collected using the search method and literature review. Conclusion Based on the economic analysis of law, the shift in the orientation of punishment in criminal acts of corruption from corporal punishment to a combination of corporal punishment, large fines, confiscation of assets and impoverishment of perpetrators of criminal acts of corruption without diminishing the meaning of corporal punishment shows effectiveness and efficiency and will increase the deterrent effect for the perpetrator.

The amount of state losses due to corruption and its impact on all aspects of people's lives at large, but the assets resulting from the corruption of the corruptors are not touched by the law (News, 2021). Perpetrators of corruption in Indonesia are still dominated by the ranks of the bureaucracy. Based on ICW's monitoring report on the verdicts of corruption cases in the first semester of 2010, there were 119 corruption cases tried with a total of 183 defendants (Rahmayanti, 2018). Donald Fariz in Rahmayanti details that out of 119 corruption cases, 103 cases with 66 defendants were tried in the General Court, while 16 cases with 17 defendants were tried at the
