This research includes normative legal research, with the type of data used in this study is qualitative data. The results of the study indicate that political parties are corporations that can and are capable of being held criminally responsible, as seen in Law Number 2 of 2008 as amended by Law Number 2 of 2011 concerning Political Parties.
