The abbreviated procedure is the established procedure for the investigation and prosecution of cases involving crimes that carry a prison sentence of no more than nine years, or a sentence of a different nature, whether single, joint or alternative, whatever its amount or duration. Within this abbreviated procedure, a distinction can also be established for the purposes of its prosecution, depending on whether the trial corresponds to the Criminal Judge or to the Provincial Court. The Provincial Court will be responsible for the trial in the case of crimes that carry a prison sentence of more than five years, or more than ten years if it is a sentence other than prison, and the Criminal Judge will be responsible for the prosecution if the penalty provision does not reach said amounts. We must also be aware of the framework penalty provided for the completed crime and for the author (articles 757 to 794). Let us see its procedure.
