The debate involving the definition of criminal organizations seems endless. Different doctrine and law positions translate the extension of the problem. In brazilian law, the definition that exists, that comes from article 2 of the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime, while analyzed considering the nullum crimen nulla poena sine lege certa maxim, becomes inapplicable due to its imprecision. Then, it is necessary the establishment of parameters for a proper use of the concept, based on objective factors, so that it’s possible to eliminate at the most the subjectivity of the interpreter, making the configuration of a criminal organization in a real case based solely on objective aspects. Parameters that, when applied, instead of maximizing the sphere of incidence of the concept, reduce it, to only those cases in which it is really necessary. This way, it can eliminate the abuse committed when it is applied, both in law making and juridical spheres. These can be elaborated by an ordinal model of the concept, that aims to facilitate its interpretation, in which each dimension corresponds to the objective elements contained in the concept elaborated by the Convention itself. Each dimension must be analyzed for itself, in a way that the non configuration of a dimension means the non configuration of the criminal organization in the case, for they are co-dependant. While restricting the sphere of incidence of the concept, it is possible to avoid confusions regarding criminal organizations, economic crimes and associative crimes, and the cases in which its utilization results in an inappropriate conviction, or in a violation of fundamental rights.
