About this statute
This provision is the heading of Law 1542 of 2012, which states that it reforms article 74 of Law 906 of 2004 (the Criminal Procedure Code). This provision states the law’s purpose: to ensure authorities investigate alleged violence against women with protection and diligence, and to remove the complaint/withdrawal status from domestic violence and non-payment of alimony offenses. This article removes two expressions from a cited criminal procedure provision and states the imprisonment range for domestic violence remains 4 to 8 years, with increases under another law. Las autoridades judiciales deben investigar de oficio los casos de presunta violencia contra la mujer cuando tengan conocimiento de ellos. En casos de violencia intrafamiliar, el juez de ejecución de penas y medidas de seguridad debe tener un concepto técnico favorable de medicina legal antes de decidir.
