Probative value of the self-incrimination before the police, not ratified before the judicial organ. Comments to the SSTS 1215/2006, of December 4, and 487/2015, of July 20

Abstract

This paper analyzes the value that a self-incriminating statement can reach before the police when the subject does not subsequently ratify it before the competent judicial body. To do this, the examples of SSTS 1215/2006, of December 4, and 487/2018, of July 20, are analyzed. The author performs the analysis linking the material criminal law with the procedural law from the constitutional parameters, praising the work that in this sense has developed the magistrate Andrés Andrés Ibáñez.
