Abstract
Description
El presente artículo analiza el desarrollo del sicariato en Ecuador como un fenómeno que no proviene únicamente de la expansión del narcotráfico en Colombia; sino que se propone discutirlo desde el punto de vista económico, evidenciando la mercantilización de la muerte. La inexistencia en el código penal, la imposibilidad de conocer con certeza las circunstancias que lo rodean, la ausencia de registro, un alto nivel de impunidad, e incluso, la espectacularización mediática dificultan la toma de decisiones en cuanto a políticas públicas. Metodológicamente, se presenta una primera aproximación exploratoria recurriendo a tres diarios de circulación nacional; evidenciando algunas características propias del sicariato, así como los impactos que produce tanto en la sociedad como en las instituciones del Estado. Finalmente, se propone resaltar la importancia de profundizar en esta problemática.
This paper analyzes the development of contract killings in Ecuador as a phenomenon that does not arise exclusively from the expansion of drug trafficking in Colombia; it analyzes it from the economic point of view, highlighting the commercialization of death. The lack of typification in the penal code, the impossibility of knowing with certainty the surrounding circumstances , the absence of record-keeping, a high level of impunity and even the media show built around it, make it difficult to make decisions regarding public policy. Methodologically , the paper presents a first exploratory approach resorting to three national newspapers; highlighting some characteristics of contract killings, as well as the effects they have in society as well as in State institutions. Finally, it suggests the importance of delving deeper into this problem.
