Abstract
The Investment Alert Task Force re-released the latest list of fraudulent investments in September 2020. At least,
there were 99  illegal foreign and domestic investments that were included in the list. A total of 99 illegal
investments are suspected of carrying out business activities without permission from the competent authority.
These entities are considered to have the potential to harm the public because they commit fraud by offering very
high and unreasonable returns. The formulation of the problem raised in this study is about the rise of illegal
domestic investment crimes that duplicate business activities on behalf of officially licensed entities in Indonesia.
In this research, the paradigm used is post-positivism paradigm. The post-positivism paradigm wants to prove
that everything is based on reality that can be built based on experience, observation, researchers are neutral
towards the object of research, even though the researcher holding this paradigm remains neutral towards the
object of research, he wants to examine what actually happened from the things that happened. as if it was
certain. The results of the study describe the modus operandi of domestic investment and foreign investment
regulations based on Law  Number  25 of 2007 concerning Investment and  the reformulation of some clauses
through the omnibus law of the Job Creation Act No. 11 of 2020. Rearrangement of investment regulations is
expected to provide legal certainty from the perspective of regulation and legal protection from the perspective
of law enforcement. In conclusion, the Financial Services Authority Investment Alert Task Force is needed,
which  is a combination of various law enforcement teams, must closely monitor the business activities of God's
foreign capital investment in Indonesia and provide legal protection for investors who legally conduct business
activities in Indonesia.

1.  INTRODUCTION
One  of the goals of establishing a state government is to promote the general welfare. The mandate, among
others, has been described in Article 33 of the 1945  Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia and is a
constitutional mandate that underlies the formation of all laws and regulations in the economic field. The
constitution mandates that national economic development must be based on democratic principles that are able
to create the realization of Indonesia's economic sovereignty. The linkage of economic development  with
people's economic actors was strengthened again by the Decree of the People's Consultative Assembly of the
Republic  of Indonesia Number   XVI  of 1998  concerning Economic   Politics in the Context of Economic
Democracy   as a source of  material law. Thus, the development of  investment for micro, small, medium
enterprises, and cooperatives is part of the basic investment policy. In this regard, investment must be part of the
implementation of the national economy and be placed as an effort to increase national economic growth, create
jobs, increase sustainable economic development,  increase national technological capacity and capability,
encourage people's economic development, and  realize community welfare in a competitive economic system.
The  purpose  of implementing  investment can only be  achieved if the supporting factors that hinder the
investment climate can be overcome, among others through improved coordination between central and regional
government  agencies, the creation of an efficient bureaucracy, legal certainty in the investment sector, highly
competitive economic  costs, and climate conducive business sector in the field of employment and business
security. With the improvement of these various supporting factors, it is hoped that the realization of investment
will improve significantly.
     In the development of legal principles in Indonesia, there are two laws that we know, namely, general
criminal law, special criminal law in the Criminal Code, and special criminal law outside the Criminal Code. The
Criminal Code is divided into three books, book I contains general provisions, book II contains crimes and book
