El derecho de defensa de las personas jurídicas en el proceso penal español. Apuntes sobre el derecho colombiano

Abstract

This paper analyzes the right to defense of legal entities, an essential topic in criminal matters, especially in jurisdictions where a legal entity is foreseen to be a potentially active subject in a criminal action. To achieve this goal, the text reviews the background that permeates such a figure; it subsequently points out the procedural guarantees to which the legal entity is entitled, to direct the discussion to the article’s specific topic: the right to defense and the challenges faced due to its application in the realm of legal entities.
