Abstract

The proposed reform, even yet sanctioned, of the criminal procedural order of the Nation, presents an exponential leap from a mixed or inquisitive system attenuated to another clearly accusatory, according to modern adjective tendencies. The Public Prosecutor's Office (MPF by its acronym in Spanish) acquires a preponderant role in the investigation of unlawful acts, which provide legal tools for the development of its action in order to promote and boost criminal action. In the same way, it counts on criteria of availability of the criminal action and in that sense, it is specified in which cases it can be resorted to, peremptory deadlines are established, and preparatory research is simplified, in order to achieve greater agility and avoid the formalities that could bureaucratize the procedure.
