Article 363 bis, inserted into the Código Penal's new computer-crimes chapter by Ley No. 1768, punishes whoever, intending to obtain an undue benefit for themselves or a third party, manipulates a computer data processing or transfer so that it produces an incorrect result or avoids a process whose result would have been correct, causing a property transfer to a third party's detriment, with reclusión (imprisonment) of one to five years and a fine of sixty to two hundred day-fines (días multa).
Ley No. 1005, Código del Sistema Penal, promulgated 15 December 2017, listed Ley 1768 among the norms it abrogated. Ley 1005's own transitory provisions state that the Code's rules would enter into force eighteen months after publication. Ley No. 1027 abrogated Ley 1005 in its entirety on 25 January 2018, about six weeks later and well inside that eighteen-month period, so article 363 bis was never actually displaced.
