Resumen: Este trabajo tiene por objetivo reducir la ambigüedad y las contradicciones durante la interpretación y aplicación del derecho a la presunción de inocencia en el derecho administrativo. El estudio comienza con el desarrollo que este derecho ha tenido en la materia penal, luego se evalúa cada elemento que lo conforma y se expone uno a uno si ha de ser matizado o modulado según su compatibilidad con el derecho administrativo sancionador. Este esfuerzo pretende evitar que se hagan indebidas yuxtaposiciones interpretativas entre estas materias. El estudio concluye con la formulación de criterios que se proponen delimitar la extensión de este derecho con base en las particularidades de la materia administrativa. Las fronteras entre ambas materias serán más claras mientras mayor sea su estudio, consenso, y difusión.
Abstract: The goal of this paper points out to reduce the ambiguity and the contradictions related with the presumption of innocence when it is interpreted and applied in the field of administrative sanctions procedure. We start with the developing of this right in the criminal law field. We check each presumption of innocence´s element, then we determine, one by one, if we should give to them any kind of nuances or graduations according to its compatibility with the field of administrative sanctions procedure. This effort pretends to avoid improper juxtapositions among the interpretations in these fields of law. This study finishes with the proposal of different kinds of criteria to delimit the extension of the presumption of innocence based on the special features of the administrative sanctions procedure. The boundaries will be clearer as much as their studies and consensus are diffused.
