The development of criminality, characterized by the formation of structured groups for profit, has led Ecuador to adapt its legal framework. The Organic Comprehensive Criminal Code, in force since 2014, criminalizes Organized Crime, aligning it with international standards established in the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime and other treaties. These instruments provide a solid foundation for the prosecution of such crimes globally. In Ecuador, we now have a specific description aimed at prosecuting organized crime offenses, to protect public security and peace, considering that the mere creation of a criminal structure endangers collective tranquility, as a criminal organization will directly harm society, infringing upon one or more legally protected rights. Specifically, Article 369 of the Organic Comprehensive Criminal Code defines the crime of organized crime, punishing those who commit this offense with prison sentences of up to 10 years. However, the complexity of this criminal offense sometimes leads to impunity. The methodology used is qualitative and interpretative bibliographic research, focused on the analysis of relevant documents on the subject.
