Relación entre delincuencia organizada y corrupción.

Abstract

Organized crime and corruption, two social problems with which democratic states have had to struggle, are directly proportional to each other. The lack of oversight by the control entities responsible for combating acts of corruption in a country means that the crimes committed by these criminal organizations go unpunished, thus encouraging the criminal participation of these organized groups. Various international law organizations such as the United Nations Convention against Organized Crime or the United Nations Convention against Corruption, to which Ecuador is a State party, have issued various strategies and guidelines to address these two evils or directly prevent them. This research addresses one of these guidelines to combat these problems, which has already been adopted by several countries and recently Ecuador has also done so in its latest reform of the Organic Code of the Judiciary, we are talking about the creation of specialized judges in matters of organized crime and corruption, but also analyzes the gap that still suffers from this reform.
