Abstract

In Ruling C-181 of 2016, the Constitutional Court ruled on recidivism as an aggravating circumstance of the penalty, regarding the review of the constitutionality of a provision contained in Law 1453 of 2011, law on citizen security, which provided for doubling the fine penalty for the sentenced person who had been convicted of an intentional or premeditated crime within the previous ten years (art. 46).
