• Abstract:

  This article carries out an analysis of the responsibility of legal entities in Colombia based on the law compared to other countries and the review of the jurisprudence of the Colombian high courts, in which we can infer the omission on the part of the legislator to regulate the issue, We also observe how the Constitutional Court has issued constitutional rulings trying to clarify the regulatory void. To carry out this investigation, the qualitative method was used, given the understanding of criminal acts carried out by legal entities within the legal framework of society and on the competence of the criminal responsibility of ideal or moral entities, in our Colombian legal system.
