About this statute

This law says it changes parts of Law 906 of 2004, sets a deadline for the investigation stage in serious crimes against children and adolescents, and creates a special investigation unit. This provision changes parts of Law 906 of 2004 and sets an initial 8-month period for the Fiscalía General de la Nación to file charges or give a motivated decision to close the investigation in prioritized crimes against minors; it also creates a special investigation unit for those cases. This article sets deadlines for the Fiscalía and the judge in the criminal process. The article assigns permanent judicial police functions to specified officers, allows the National Police to perform those functions where no judicial police members are present, and requires the Fiscalía General de la Nación to have a special investigation unit for prioritized crimes against children and adolescents. Dentro de seis meses desde la expedición de la ley debe definirse la creación, conformación y ubicación de una unidad especial de investigación para delitos priorizados cometidos contra menores de edad.
