En un contexto de debate político, social y académico sobre los fueros y la procedencia o no de su supresión o reducción, en este artículo se lleva a cabo un repaso de los problemas prácticos que viene originando su aplicación y las soluciones que ofrece la jurisprudencia, que son examinados a la luz de eventuales reformas. Se propone una reducción significativa de los mismos tanto a nivel subjetivo (limitación del número de aforados) como objetivo (restricción a los delitos relacionados con el ejercicio del cargo).

The role of Criminal Law in the fight against corruption phenomena has to be complementary and not exclusive or excluding. With just Criminal Law not only the corruption is not won but there is danger that the same Law and Criminal procedure get corrupted by grinding some of their basic guarantees. Criminal Law is essential for that purpose but it has to be helped by preventive measures more efficient both socially and specifically legal: transparency, professional ex ante and ex post efficient controls. From that start, the text shows some of the substantive Criminal law institutions (last criminal reforms, confiscation), procedural law institutions (measures for facilitation, repentants) and organic law institutions (public prosecutor office, popular action) in order to review their deficits and possibilities in the punishment of those behaviours linked to corruption.
