El delito de estafa en el Código Orgánico Integral Penal. Breve análisis del tipo penal y las reformas del 2019.

Abstract

The evolution of the criminal type of fraud in Ecuador is a reflection of the protection needs before the advancement of society in commercial and economic matters, something fully demonstrable with the reforms of the year 2019 where new behaviors such as aggravated fraud and criminal responsibility of legal persons are established, however, this progress is not always in line with the doctrinal progress in Criminal Law. In this article, the essential elements of the criminal type of fraud are briefly analyzed, in contrast to the main modalities of aggravated fraud, covering the criminal responsibility of legal persons and reflecting on the need for further development of the jurisprudence that this criminal type deserves.
