Diversas medidas han sido introducidas al ordenamiento jurídico chileno con la finalidad de desincentivar la criminalidad lucrativa. Dentro de ellas cobra relevancia el comiso, y especialmente su variante de comiso sin condena, incorporada al derecho chileno a través de la ley 21.577, que fortalece la persecución del crimen organizado y robustece la figura del comiso. El presente artículo busca realizar un estudio dogmático de esta última figura, analizando especialmente su naturaleza jurídica, concluyendo que se trata de una medida sui generis, accesoria a la existencia de un ilícito, en cuyo análisis deben considerarse no solo elementos de carácter penal, sino también procesales y civiles, instaurándose como una figura trascendental para combatir la criminalidad organizada y económica.
In Chilean law, various measures have been introduced to discourage profit-driven crime. Among these, particular relevance is given to confiscation, especially non-conviction-based variant, which was incorporated into the legal system through Law 21.577, that strengthens the prosecution of organized crime while reinforcing the confiscation mechanism. In this article, a dogmatic study of this measure is conducted, with a focus on its legal nature. It is concluded that the measure constitutes a sui generis mechanism, accessory to the existence of a crime, where elements of criminal, procedural, and civil law must be considered. As a result, it is established as a pivotal tool in combating organized and economic crime.
