Article 70. Bankruptcy rules

1. Facts that can be classified under two or more precepts of this or another law will be penalised by observing the following rules:

a) The special precept will be applied in preference to the general one.

b) The broader or more complex precept will absorb the one that penalises the infractions subsumed in it.

c) In the absence of the previous criteria, the most serious precept will exclude those that sanction the act with a minor sanction.

2. In the event that a single fact constitutes two or more infractions, or when one of them is a necessary means to commit the other, the conduct will be sanctioned by that infraction to which a greater sanction is applied in the abstract.

3. When an action or omission must be taken into consideration as a criterion for graduation of the sanction or as a circumstance that determines the qualification of the infraction, it cannot be sanctioned as an independent infraction.
