| Teoría de la imputación objetiva. | The Theory of Criminal Negligence. |
| El reciente Auto de 25 de octubre de 2012, dictado por la Audiencia Provincial de Madrid, confirma el sobreseimiento de las actuaciones acordado por el Juzgado de Instrucción nº 1 de Valdemoro, al entender que no era posible imputar objetivamente a la empresa las lesiones sufridas por un trabajador, dado que fue él mismo quien causó el accidente con su actuar temerario e imprudente, omitiendo los medios de protección, información y formación proporcionados por la empresa. | In a sentence handed down on the 25th October, 2012, the Provincial Court of Madrid upheld on appeal the dismissal of a case from the Court of First Instance and Instruction 1 in Valdemoro, confirming that it was not possible to objectively attribute a worker’s injuries to the criminal negligence of the company in question. |
| martes, 15 de enero de 2013 | Tuesday, 15 January 2013 |
| El citado Auto es significativo porque recoge la posición doctrinal más moderna, que deja atrás la concepción tradicional de la causalidad sobre bases exclusivamente naturales, introduciendo consideraciones jurídicas y siguiendo las pautas marcadas por la teoría de la relevancia, es decir, que sólo el tipo penal y la finalidad de la norma correspondiente pueden decidir qué clase de vinculación entre resultado y conducta debe requerirse para que sea relevante para el Derecho Penal. | This sentence is significant as it disregards a traditional notion of negligence in favour of a purely legal understanding of the concept, reflecting a more modern legal approach. |
| De esta forma, la mera constatación de dicha causalidad natural no es suficiente para la atribución del resultado, ya que, en cuanto comprobada la misma, se requiere además verificar que | Understood thusly, a finding of mere causality is not sufficient to establish criminal negligence. |
| a) la acción del autor ha creado un peligro jurídicamente desaprobado para la producción del resultado y que | Specifically, once causality is established, it must be further proven that |
| b) el resultado producido por dicha acción es la realización del mismo peligro (jurídicamente desaprobado) creado por la acción. | 1) the actions which created the hazard resulting in the accident are specifically proscribed under the law and that |
| Nos encontramos, por tanto, ante dos condicionantes complementarios de la causalidad natural que deben concurrir simultáneamente, pues en caso contrario se eliminaría la tipicidad de la conducta y, por consiguiente, su relevancia para el Derecho penal. | 2) the accident was a direct result of those same actions. |
| Así, respecto del primer requisito, señala la resolución que nos ocupa que la creación de un peligro jurídicamente desaprobado está ausente cuando se trate de riesgos permitidos, que excluyen la tipicidad de la conducta que los crea, y próximos a estos los casos de disminución del riesgo, en los que el autor obra causalmente respecto de un resultado realmente ocurrido, pero evitando a la vez la producción de un resultado más perjudicial. | Further, cases where a hazard is only partially created by the accused are not liable to criminal sanction, nor other cases covered by the principle of trust, pursuant to which a finding of negligence cannot be made in a case where the actions causing an accident have been undertaken on the mistaken understanding that others are acting in compliance with the law. |
| Son de mencionar igualmente otros supuestos de ruptura de la imputación objetiva entre los que se pueden incluir los abarcados por el principio de confianza, conforme al cual no se imputarán objetivamente los resultados producidos por quien ha obrado confiando en que otros se mantendrán dentro de los límites del peligro permitido, así como las exclusiones motivadas por lo que doctrinalmente se denomina la prohibición de regreso, referidas a condiciones previas a las realmente causales, puestas por quien no es garante de la evitación de un resultado. | These include cases where, prior to the specific sequence of events which culminated in the accident, the general circumstances leading to the creation of an accident were established by someone other than the party directly responsible for maintaining safe work conditions and preventing accidents. |
| Por su parte, el segundo requisito, exige que el riesgo (no permitido) creado por la acción sea el que se realiza en el resultado. | It is from this second constraint on negligence that the question of multiple and competing actions contributing to an accident may arise, meaning a direct line of cause and effect must be drawn between a specific action and outcome among potentially multiple causes. |
| Es en este segundo condicionante de la imputación objetiva en el que se plantea la presencia de riesgos concurrentes para la producción del resultado, cuestión en la que habrá que estar al riesgo que decididamente lo realiza, como aquellos otros casos en los que no podrá sostenerse la realización del riesgo en el resultado cuando la víctima se expone a un peligro que proviene directamente de su propia acción, en cuyo caso el resultado producido se imputará según el principio de la ¨autopuesta en peligro¨ o ¨principio de la propia responsabilidad¨. | This condition also covers those cases where the victim exposes themselves directly to danger as a result of their own actions, in which case any accident occurring will be covered under the principles of “self-endangerment” or “personal responsibility” and not be attributable to criminal negligence. |
| En este último supuesto, se trata de establecer los casos en los que la realización del resultado es concreción del peligro causado por la conducta de la propia víctima que ha tenido una intervención decisiva en el mismo, tal y como ocurrió en el asunto analizado, en el que, conforme a los postulados indicados, se concluyó que no existían indicios bastantes de la concurrencia de los elementos que configuran el delito contra los derechos de los trabajadores, ya que en palabras del propio Auto no basta la idoneidad lesiva en abstracto de la conducta empresarial, al tratarse de un delito de peligro concreto grave, no de mera actividad, sino de resultado, al que deben aplicarse las reglas de causalidad y de imputación jurídica a efectos de establecer la existencia de relación causa-efecto entre la conducta de peligro y el resultado que provoca. | And indeed, this is what was found to have occurred in the case heard in the Provincial Court of Madrid referred to above, in which, according to the principles of criminal negligence discussed, it was concluded that there was insufficient evidence to establish a crime of criminal negligence against the workers on the part of the company. |

If this is not a self-portrait... it must now be a fad to call others by one’s own name!” |

| — Cara, isso é muita doideira — Afonso disse. | ‘Mate, I think you’re coming close to losing it all together. |
| — Cê corre o risco de ficar mental, irmãozinho. | This is how it begins. |
| Se liga aí. | ’ |
| André começou a caminhar em direção à padaria/bar na esquina da calçada de seu prédio. | André began to walk towards the bar on the corner. |
| — Eu vou tomar um café na padaria pra ver se dá uma clareada nas ideias — André disse. | ‘I’m going to have a coffee and see if I can get my shit together’. |
| — É bom — Afonso comentou. | ‘Good idea’, Afonso replied. |
| — Mas o que é que você tava me dizendo mesmo? | ‘But what were you just saying? |
| — André perguntou ao celular e, dirigindo-se rapidamente ao atendente da padaria, pediu um café preto. | ’, André put his hand over his cell phone and asked the waiter for a black coffee. |
| — Eu tava dizendo que você não pode acreditar que a mulha tá dentro das tuas ideias, irmão, porque se você acreditar nessa porra, fodeu, cê vai estar abrindo a porteira pra doideira se instalar de vez, e com três vias registradas em cartório. | ‘I was saying that the minute you start to actually believe that she’s in your head then you’re already fucked man. |
| André colocou açúcar no café que lhe fora servido num copinho de vidro, mexeu com a colher e tomou um gole. | André’s coffee arrived in a small glass. |
| Estava uma merda. | It was awful. |
| O café daquela padaria era sempre uma merda, uma lama preta com gosto de pentelho queimado, mas era de um café assim que André estava precisando, um café ruim, café tapa na cara, café “sêji ômi”. | But the coffee from this bar was always awful – like black mud with a burnt pubic aftertaste. |
| A situação requeria uma dose de amargor para bloquear a fraqueza mental e forçá-lo a ser forte. | The situation required a bitter distraction to block out his mental fragility and force him to be strong and this was just the kind of coffee he needed: a cup of crap like a slap in the face with an extra dose of ‘harden the fuck up’. |
| — Cê precisa fazer alguma coisa para tirar essa pilha errada do pensamento — Afonso disse. | ‘You gotta do something to get that monkey off your back before it settles in for a ride, man…’, Afonso said. |
| — Tô fazendo — André respondeu, e tomou mais um gole do nauseabundo líquido preto. | ‘I am...’, responded André, chugging down another mouthful of the hideous black liquid. |
| — Fazendo o quê? | ‘Doing what? |
| — Tô bebendo café ruim pra dar um corte na programação mental errada — disse André, e sentiu o olhar de reprovação do tiozinho do outro lado do balcão, que estava servindo um pingado para um sujeito de meia idade com a cara mais envergada do que um arco de berimbau. | ‘Drinking shitty coffee to short circuit this train of thought’, André said, catching a glare from the guy behind the bar who was in that moment serving a short white coffee to a middle aged guy with a face as crooked as a dog’s leg. |
| Do outro lado do salão da padaria, a onipresente televisão regurgitava blablablás. | On the other side of the bar, the television screen blared out its incessant verbal churn of blablablas. |
