perpetrado

Perpetrado is a Spanish word that translates to "perpetrated" in English. It is primarily used to describe the commission of a crime, offense, or harmful act. The term carries a strong connotation of malice, intent, or at least negligence, implying that an action was carried out intentionally and with a negative consequence.

When something is described as perpetrado, it suggests that a wrong has been done. This could range from minor offenses to severe criminal acts. For example, a theft could be described as "un robo perpetrado," or a violent act as "un ataque perpetrado." The word emphasizes the active role of the perpetrator in carrying out the deed.

In legal and journalistic contexts, "perpetrado" is frequently used to report on crimes and their details. It helps to clearly identify that an action was not accidental but was the result of someone's deliberate actions. The term is a direct and unambiguous way to assign responsibility for an undesirable event. Its usage is common in Spanish-speaking countries and in translations of news and legal documents.
