Description
Summary:This article explains and analyzes the scope of the presumption of legality in the exercise of the sanctioning power of the Public Administration, from its link and support to the presumption of innocence, as well as its effects on the development of administrative sanctioning procedures, with special incidence on the burden of proof of the facts and the participation of the alleged offender in them. Its application in special procedures is contemplated considering the sufficiency of the evidentiary activity required to distort the effects of the presumption in favor of the administered.
