Let $F$ be a finite field and $n$, a non negative integer. A linear code $C$ of length $n$ is a subspace of $F^n $. A (left) group code of length $n$ is a linear code which is the image of a (left) ideal of a group algebra via an isomorphism $FG \rightarrow F^n $ for any $G$, a finite group with $\vert G \vert=n $. In this case $C$, is a (left) $G$-code. In [1], Bernal, del R\'io and Sim\'on obtain a criterion to decide when a linear code is a group code in terms of the group of permutation automorphisms of $ C $, $PAut(C)$. Sabin and Lomonaco, in [4], have proved that if $C$ a $G$-code with $G$ a semidirect product of cyclic groups, then $C$ is an abelian group code. As an application of criterion and extending the result of Sabin and Lomonaco, in [1], they provide a family of groups for which every two-sided group code is an abelian group code. Pillado, González, Martínez, Markov e Nechaev describe some classes of groups and fields for which all group codes are abelian in [2]. Motivated by [3], they have shown that there exist a non-Abelian $G$-code over $F$. In order to extend the result on groups with abelian decompotition, we explore some conditions to determine a group $G$ which can written as a product of abelian subgroups, such that the $G$-codes with $G \in \mathcal{G}$ will be abelian group code.
