Abstract
This essay strives to answer three questions still open to the Colombian legal doctrine of criminal law concerning larceny (hurto), robbery (hurto calificado por violencia sobre las personas) and extortion (extorsión). From this starting point, it seeks to organise the category of crimes against property and net wealth by elucidating its basic structure. To this structure belongs the understanding of property and net wealth as different objects protected by criminal law, which makes it possible to identify legal differences between larceny and extortion, as well as between embezzlement (abuso de confianza) and fraud (estafa).
