    La necesidad del “cooperador necesario” como forma de participación en la legislación penal colombiana
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2025-11-07) Hasler Valencia, Lucero Concepción, Lucero Concepción; Echavarría Ramírez, Ricardo
    The traditional criteria for attributing criminal responsibility, while useful in most cases, reveal a notable insufficiency when addressing borderline factual situations. Specifically, there appears to be a gray area between co-perpetration and complicity, where the participant’s conduct, although going beyond the merely accessory contribution typical of an accomplice, does not reach the level of control and mastery over the act required to be considered a principal. This situation becomes more pronounced when the participant’s contribution assumes a special character which, although not decisive for the consummation of the offense, exceeds the bounds of mere collaboration. However, in the absence of an explicit regulation in Colombian law for this type of participation, the Criminal Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice (hereinafter S.C.J.) has developed the notion of improper co-perpetration, extending its scope to those individuals who, without directly intervening in the execution phase, make a functionally significant contribution to the commission of the criminal act.
