Abstract
La presente contribución aborda un aspecto concreto del estatuto procesal de la víctima en la nueva Ley del Proceso Penal cubano: su participa-ción como coadyuvante de la acusación. El objetivo central ha sido clarificar las posibilidades y límites de su intervención frente a la postura acusatoria del fiscal, en concreto, respecto a los distintos elementos que componen el objeto del proceso y el objeto del debate. En esa línea, se contrasta el modelo implan-tado por el legislador de 2021 con otros sistemas que, en Derecho comparado, permiten a la víctima participar en el ejercicio de la acción penal pública; ello como paso previo para ofrecer luego pautas interpretativas orientadas a des-pejar algunas dudas sobre el alcance de la actuación del acusador coadyuvante. Salvo error involuntario, se trata del primer estudio que encara la cuestión en el ámbito nacional y, por tanto, inaugura el debate sobre una figura que, por su novedad, no ha tenido aún suficiente recorrido práctico.
This study addresses a specific aspect of the procedural status of the victim in the new Cuban Code of Criminal Procedure: his/her participation as an ancillary prosecutor. The main object of the study is to clarify the possibili-ties and limits of the intervention of this figure, as distinct from the accusatory role of the prosecutor, specifically with respect to the different elements that make up the subject of the procedure and the subject of debate. In this line, the model implemented in 2021 by the Cuban legislator is contrasted with other systems in comparative law that allow the victim to participate in the exercise of public criminal prosecu¬tion. After this preliminary step, interpretative gui-delines are offered aimed at clearing up some doubts about the scope of action of the ancillary prosecu¬tor. The author believes that this study is the first to address the issue at the national level, and therefore that it opens the debate on a figure with regard to whom, due to his/her novelty, there is as yet insufficient practical experience.
