titulariades interpuestas

Spanish to English Law/Patents Law (general) Court appeal documents
Hi,

I'm translating a court appeal document from Spanish for Spain to British English. The part of the document where the tricky phrase appears is the section where the grounds on which one of the appellants lodges the appeal are elaborated. Please see the full sentence below:

'Y, si es que fuera necesario, que no lo es, dada la obviedad de lo que ahora se afirma, bastaría ver el despliegue de actividades y de titularidades interpuestas a que aparecen sometidos los ingresos de [x] de que aquí se trata.'

The evidence against the appellant showed that he owned a number of shell companies for the purposes of money laundering. On this basis, I was thinking that 'intermediary companies' or 'shell companies' may be appropriate in the context of the sentence and background information. Would that be suitable?

Many thanks!

Why not? That seems to be referring to testaferros. Ok, it doesn't have to be a company, it can be a person, so maybe something broader. But I'm 100 % sure he is using companies. So shell companies, shell corporations, etc.

DEFINITELY NOT They may possibly have been shell companies but that it is not what your text says. This is legal translation and you can't go jumping to conclusions like that asker.

I think "interpuestas" refers to "despliegue," albeit with some grammatical discordance. Something along the lines of "statement of activities and titles filed" perhaps?

I agree completely with AllegroTrans that you need to stick to the source and cannot make any assumptions.
