Spanish to English Law/Patents Law (general) Request for legal assistance
Por la acusación particular ejercitada por el procurador, se califican los hechos como constitutivos de un delito de xxxxxxxx tipificado en el artículo 227 del Código Penal, conceptuando como autor al acusado, y sin concurrencia de circunstancias modificativas de responsabilidad criminal...etc.

'categorizes the facts as constitutive with an offence of..' - I'm thinking of something along these lines.

these facts fall within the definition of the crime of xxxx

Robert Carter's suggestion is correct. I simply offer this as what strikes me as a more concise alternative.

the acts are classified as the crime of xxx

... the acts are classified as the crime of xxx, defined in Article...

I'd use "acts" rather than "facts" and talk about their classification with regard to the legal definition.

That doesn't make any difference - they're easy to find, and let you deduce the correct answer.
neutral Sandro Tomasi : That may be, but neither link addresses the term "calificar" which I believe is an issue.

neutral Álvaro Espantaleón Moreno : Calificar=definir=considerar. Se usan estos tres verbos indistintamente.
