Criminal Code has 5 demands before governing in Ecuador

Five constitutional challenges faced by the Integral Penal Organic Code (COIP for its Spanish acronym), which still does not apply in Ecuador. Among them is the malpractice.

Lawyer Luis Sarrade Peláez has sued four articles and the Women’s Movement one, but the Constitutional Court (CC) has not yet formally filed none, according to the website of the body.

Sarrade requests the CC to declare the unconstitutionality of Article 146, which criminalizes the homicide by professional malpractice. As well as the 49, 250 and 283.

The 49 liables in a criminal way to legal persons of private law, the 250 sanctions the dogfighting and 483 norms the covert operations during a tax investigation.

Regarding the 483, Sarrade calls the elimination of item 2, which exempts from criminal or civil liability when the undercover agent “must be incurred” in a crime during the investigation, the statement said.

 In all his writings, he seeks to extend to 365 days the period of COIP final disposition, in order to spread its content.
