This paper explained how indirect perpetratorship has been understood in Spanish criminal theory. For this, the bibliographic review technique of different Spanish authors and legal texts on the subject was used. One of the most relevant discussion points was related to the forms of appearance of indirect perpetratorship, which occur through the domain by mistake, the domain by duress and the domain of organization. The delimitation between indirect perpetratorship and abetting, indirect perpetratorship and special crimes, as well as reckless indirect perpetratorship were also addressed. In it, it was concluded, among others, that the indirect perpetratorship is the one who commits a crime using another as an instrument.
