Abstract
This work examines the crime of association for the commission of a crime against the public administration, introduced into the current Criminal Code at the behest of international instruments; the author, after showing that it is an example of the most generic type of figure of those used to commit crimes, conducts a dogmatic study of it and proposes new ways for the better understanding of the criminal norm and its political-criminal scope which allows her to conclude that the legislative technique used to introduce the figure into positive law has not been the best.
