Daños punitivos para el daño no patrimonial derivado del delito de corrupción: ¿constitucional y eficiente?

Abstract

This research analyzes the constitutionality and economic justification of the use of punitive damages for the sanction of the supposed non-patrimonial damage in favor of the State in the cases of crimes of corruption. The authors conclude that punitive damages have many problems that result in their unconstitutionality and inefficiency, especially when it is derived from a criminal proceeding.
