Abstract: State officials who are charged and tried under Article 3 of the corruption law are generally strongly suspected and accused of committing abuse of authority (misbruik van bevoegdheid ) because of their position or position. It is not uncommon for abuse of authority to result in a criminal act of corruption, the perpetrator standing alone, but rather more than 1 (one) person who has a connection to the crime. In criminal law, it is known as the doctrine of participation as regulated in Articles 55 - 56 of the Criminal Code
