Análisis sobre la responsabilidad penal de las personas jurídicas en el Código Integral Penal del Ecuador

Abstract

Abstract: This research deals with the analysis of criminal liability of private law legal entities in Ecuador, examining the possible shortcomings that exist in the regulations of the Comprehensive Organic Criminal Code. We focus on the difficulties that arise in determining the individual criminal responsibility of those who are involved in economic crime; in the procedural and substantive deficiencies that can be caused for the correct application of the norm, as well as the analysis of a prevention model as an aid to avoid continuing crimes in our country. Faced with the possible shortcomings of the current regulations that affect the criminal liability of legal persons in private law, we found ourselves in the need to propose a reform proposal. With this we intend to generate possible solutions - from our perspective - applicable to the current regulations. Our position in that sense is clearly balanced, without placing a specific weight on one side of the scale.
