Spanish term

limitativamente

Spanish to English Law/Patents Law (general)
el lavado de dinero es considerado como de los delitos que limitativamente pueden ser cometidos por miembros de la delincuencia organizada

What does "limitativamente" mean? "Money laundering is one of the offences which can only be committed by persons engaged in organized crime"? (surely not true?)

"Money laundering is one of the offences which defines a person engaged in organized crime"?

Many thanks!

Gracias, Maru.
agree TBL : I've gone for this one after finding a reference later on to art. 2 of the Law against Organized Crime, which explains it. Thanks!

that, by definition, may be committed...

Possible wording. Not literally true in my view, but this seems to be what the source author thinks.

You could also turn the viewpoint of the phrase and use "unambiguously" or "unequivocally".

My 2 cents...

in a restricted sense

Money laundering is one of the offences that may be committed in a restricted sense...

I.e., money-laundering, as per international finance regulations, is considered as indicative of activities in organized crime. Another possible explanation is corruption, for instance. HTH.

Reference:

(From TBL - original poster) Art 2 of the Federal Law against Organized Crime says: "“Cuando tres o más personas acuerden organizarse o se organicen para realizar ... alguno o algunos de los delitos siguientes, serán sancionadas por ese solo hecho, como miembros de la delincuencia organizada: ...[list includes] operaciones con recursos de procedencia ilícita” (the latter being a synonym for “money-laundering”). i.e. engaging in money-laudering is enough by itself to make you guilty of organized crime as well. Thanks for all suggestions.
