Comprehensive Constitutional Compliance in Colombia: The Precedent Set by Ruling T-113/25 and its Impact on the Sarlaft, Sagrilaft, And PTEE Systems

Abstract

Constitutional Court Ruling T-113 of 2025 establishes a fundamental precedent in the articulation between corporate compliance and fundamental rights. This article analyzes how this judicial decision calls for the evolution of the Sarlaft, Sagrilaft, and PTEE systems toward a comprehensive model that favors individualized analysis over automatic exclusions. Through a qualitative methodology supported by jurisprudential and doctrinal analysis, the study explores the tension between the prevention of money laundering, terrorist financing, and corruption risks, on the one hand, and respect for fundamental rights and social reintegration, on the other. The research suggests that the automatic application of restrictions based on criminal records may violate constitutional principles of proportionality. A model of "comprehensive constitutional compliance" is hereby proposed. This model harmonizes risk management with fundamental rights and establishes unified criteria for the three systems. The findings contribute to the theoretical development of constitutional compliance in Colombia and offer practical guidelines for supervised entities and control authorities.
