Abstract
El presente trabajo de investigación busca estudiar el peculado desde su
naturaleza jurídica como un delito de infracción de deber y a razón de la
aplicación del principio de confianza como un supuesto de exclusión de
responsabilidad penal en los funcionarios o servidores públicos.
El análisis centra su atención en la disparidad conceptual existente en virtud al
denominado principio de confianza y el principio de desconfianza. Ambas
posturas han sido referidas por la jurisprudencia y la doctrina nacional e
internacional, siendo la primera, la de mayor difusión en la academia y la
judicatura. Sin embargo, recientemente, la Corte Suprema de Justicia del Perú,
señaló en uno de sus pronunciamientos, el supuesto de aplicación de la
desconfianza, lo cual, en apariencia, no presenta matices conceptuales
divergentes con la aplicación del principio de confianza tradicional, pero que,
estudiados en detalle, se observan distintivos jurídicos y semánticos que
exponen diferencias particulares.
De esta manera, el presente estudio busca aportar al debate jurídico una
posición respecto a la definición y aplicación de ambos conceptos en el marco
del peculado y el contexto general de los Delitos contra la Administración Pública.
The present research work seeks to study embezzlement from its legal nature as a crime of breach of duty and due to the application of the principle of trust as a case of exclusion of criminal liability in public officials or servants. The analysis focuses attention on the conceptual disparity that exists under the so-called principle of trust and the principle of distrust. Both positions have been referred to by national and international jurisprudence and doctrine, with the first being the most widespread in academia and the judiciary. However, recently, the Supreme Court of Justice of Peru, pointed out in one of its rulings, the assumption of application of distrust, which, apparently, does not present divergent conceptual nuances with the application of the traditional principle of trust, but which, studied in detail, legal and semantic distinctives are observed that expose particular differences. In this way, the present study seeks to contribute to the legal debate a position regarding the definition and application of both concepts within the framework of embezzlement and the general context of Crimes against the Public Administration.
