The development of the investigation focuses on the non-existence of a norm that develops the constitutional amendment of article 41° part in fine of the Constitution, regarding the non-applicability of the statute of limitations to criminal action in crimes committed against the public administration in the most serious cases in accordance with the principle of legality, studying the crime of fraudulent embezzlement contained in article 387° of the criminal code. In studying this criminal offence, it has been noted that it annually causes embezzlement of the national treasury, as has been pointed out at the time by the Ombudsman's Office and the Comptroller General of the Republic; The violation of these principles affects fundamental rights, such as the right to health, by appropriating or using for oneself or for third parties public funds that have been earmarked for hiring more medical personnel and building more health establishments, or in the case of the right to education, by using financial allocations intended for the construction of more schools or the hiring or training of teaching staff; In these situations, the operating agents take advantage of the patrimonial assets, funds or effects that they are granted by virtue of their position, in order to be able to administer them efficiently and put them to proper use for the benefit of the common interest. This led to the initiative to incorporate the concept of imprescriptibility of criminal action for this offence, modifying article 80 in fine of the penal code; thus, having identified the problematic reality, it was decided to formulate the following problem What legal grounds underpin the regulation of fraudulent embezzlement as the most serious offence for the purposes of applying the imprescriptibility of criminal action? Therefore, the non-probabilistic sample of 23 legal professionals was consulted, of which 09 were prosecutors specialising in corruption of public officials in the Trujillo district of La Libertad, and 14 lawyers practising criminal defence in the city of Trujillo. In this regard, the majority of respondents concluded that it is feasible to regulate the offence of fraudulent embezzlement as one of the most serious crimes and at the same time apply the principle of imprescriptibility of criminal action, based 10 on the seriousness of the penalty established by the offence and its amendments, the violation of the duty of guarantor that every public official or public servant has; Thus, the majority of interviewees conclude that the crime of fraudulent embezzlement, in the current regulation, is already serious; its seriousness is denoted by the social repercussions it generates, by violating fundamental rights, affecting the quality of life of citizens and preventing the fulfilment of public policies. However, this research does not seek to exclude the possibility of studying other crimes in Chapter XVIII at a later date. It is noted that the development of the thesis is of experimental type and with qualitative research level; in the same way, the following were used as research methods: the scientific method; as logical methods, the deductive, inferential and analytical method and as legal method, the hermeneutic, comparative and dogmatic method. The following research techniques were also applied: Bibliographic analysis with its bibliographic reference; interviews, with its interview guide as a research instrument and the document analysis technique - observation, with its documentary collection guide as a research instrument. As a result of the application of the aforementioned techniques and the discussion of the opinion expressed by the specialists, it can be concluded that the position of incorporating the crime of fraudulent embezzlement as one of the most serious crimes in Chapter XVIII of the Criminal Code is validated, as the social repercussions and violation of fundamental rights that is affected have been taken into account. In this sense, it is feasible to modify, incorporating in article 80 of the penal code the said criminal offence in order to apply the imprescriptibility of the criminal action, it has also been concluded that this modification does not violate, in any way, the principle of legality, since it would be applied to cases after the publication of the norm in the Official Gazette El Peruano, without affecting the processes prior to its publication, the latter will follow the procedural procedures with which the investigation was initiated without violating any criminal principle. Once the investigation has been completed, conclusions and recommendations are presented. Within the latter, it is proposed by means of a draft law to modify, incorporating the figure of fraudulent embezzlement as a more serious crime and 11 to apply the non-applicability of the statute of limitations to criminal action, in accordance with the principle of criminal legality
