Este artículo realiza una aproximación a los elementos típicos del delito de tráfico de influencias, en especial, al elemento “caso judicial o administrativo”. Sobre este último, se expone cómo su interpretación por parte de los tribunales restringe el campo de acción del tipo penal, generando así, situaciones de impunidad en muchos casos.
