El aseguramiento de la responsabilidad civil de terceros en el proceso penal

Abstract

Title X of Book II of the Criminal Procedure Law, is entitled «On the civil liability of third parties». It regulates the way in which third parties unrelated to the commission of the criminal offence, will respond for the damages caused because of this. What is regulated is the adoption of the measures referred to in articles 615 and following of the Criminal Procedure Law, as well as the promotion of a possible incident on the origin of the indicated responsibility, all within a separate piece that is will form for this purpose. The third party will acquire, therefore, the status of civil liability, when some measure of assurance of responsibility is adopted against him, allowing him to intervene both during the investigation, in the separate piece that is formed, and in the oral trial, qualifying the facts in writing.
