Abstract

The discussion about the rule of congruence in the criminal pro-cedure is one of the cornerstones of procedural reforms. As an outgrowth of the adversarial principle, and from its close connection with the right of defense, the criminal correlation problem is an issue, that has a certain level of complexity, which are woven around various criteria, often conflicting, making it difficult to they enrich the debate on the subject. Led by a theore-tical, offer ideas and solutions that contribute to respect and guarantee the rule of congruence, taking as paradigms some conceptions assumed by the German criminal procedure and some Latin American procedural codes.
