The principle trust and responsibility of public officials in forest crimes investigations

Abstract

The application of the principle of trust is not a general rule, since it has limits, therefore, its invocation and application should not be mandatory, much less when it comes to forestry criminal investigation models. This article attempts to clarify the correct use and application of the principle of trust in investigations and judicial proceedings against public officials for the crime of liability of a public official for the illegal granting of rights, as defined in article 314 of the Penal Code.
