The organizational structure of a corporation complicates the imputation of criminal liability for each offender.

description The organizational structure of a corporation complicates the imputation of criminal liability for each offender. However, it is a feasible task, if the dogmatic of activity or omission offence is made to be used. In Ecuador’s Positive Law, in the context of the crime of bribery, in the event that a manager orders a range of power links to bribe a public official, he can only be charged with that manager provided that he takes cover of the author’s theory behind the author devised by Professor Friedrich Christian Schroeder. On the other hand, in the context of the crime of genetic manipulation, in case the criminal activity is ordered or consented to by the manager of a corporation with that turn of business, it will tend to use the structure of the wrong omissive crime to include criminal liability as an author to the manager, since health is one of the legal assets contemplated by Article 28th of the Organic Criminal Code; an objection in commission by omission of the author is fully admissible.

In Ecuador’s Positive Law, in the context of the crime of bribery, in the event that a manager orders a range of power links to bribe a public official, he can only be charged with that manager provided that he takes cover of the author’s theory behind the author devised by Professor Friedrich Christian Schroeder.

La estructura organizacional de una sociedad anónima complica en gran medida la imputación de responsabilidad penal para cada infractor en particular, sin embargo, es una tarea factible siempre que se haga buen uso de la dogmática de los delitos de actividad o de omisión, según sea el caso. En el derecho positivo ecuatoriano, en el marco del delito de cohecho, en el supuesto en que un gerente ordene a una gama de eslabones inferiores, que sobornen a un funcionario público, solo podrá imputarse autoría a dicho gerente siempre que se «eche mano» de la teoría del autor detrás del autor, ideada por el profesor Friedrich Christian Schroeder. Por otro lado, en el marco del delito de manipulación genética, en caso de que la actividad criminal sea ordenada o consentida por el gerente de una sociedad, con ese giro del negocio, lo más acertado será utilizar la estructura del delito omisivo impropio, para endilgar responsabilidad penal en calidad de autor al gerente, pues en tanto que la salud es uno de los bienes jurídicos contemplados por la norma del artículo 28 del Código Orgánico Integral Penal, es completamente admisible una imputación en comisión por omisión.
