Resumen
La legislación penal ecuatoriana está conformada por normas que tipifican la conducta antijuridica, sino que también plantean mecanismos que logran modificar la sanciones o penas establecidas en la ley. De los varios mecanismos que plantea el Código Orgánico Integral Penal, este documento desarrolla un proceso de investigación jurídica con la finalidad de contrastar a la cooperación eficaz y el atenuante trascendental, dos figuras o instituciones del derecho penal ecuatoriano que, en una primera consideración y breve lectura, parecerían totalmente similares debido a que constituyen como fin común, descubrir la verdad de los hechos, mediante la concesión de beneficios procesales al infractor, que consisten en la reducción de la pena, a cambio de la información que el procesado pudiera proporcionarle.
Sin embargo, a través del estudio y análisis doctrinal y legal de la cooperación eficaz y del atenuante trascendental, se logra identificar las diferencias sustanciales que existen entre ambas figuras, que, de alguna forma y otra, predominan sobre sus similitudes, y permiten esclarecer la forma en que operan estas dos instituciones y comprender su naturaleza jurídica.
Ecuadorian criminal legislation is made of most of norms that typify unlawful conduct, but also propose mechanisms that manage to modify the sanctions or penalties established in the law. Of the various mechanisms proposed by the Comprehensive Organic Criminal Code, this document develops a legal investigation process in order to contrast the effective cooperation and the transcendental mitigating, two figures or institutions of Ecuadorian criminal law that, in a first and brief consideration Reading, they would seem totally similar because they constitute a common goal, to discover the truth of the facts, by granting procedural benefits to the offender, which consist in the reduction of the sentence, in exchange for the information that the defendant could provide. However, through the study and doctrinal and legal analysis of effective cooperation and the transcendental mitigating factor, it is possible to identify the substantial differences that exist between both figures, which, in one way or another, predominate over their similarities, and allow to clarify the way in which these two institutions operate and understand their legal nature.
