Article 71. Concurrence of sanctioning procedures

1. Facts that have been penalised criminally or administratively may not be sanctioned when the identity of the subject, factual and fundamental is appreciated.

2. In the cases in which the conducts could constitute a crime, the administrative body will pass the amount of blame to the judicial authority or the Public Prosecutor and will refrain from following the disciplinary procedure until the judicial authority issues a final sentence or resolution that otherwise put an end to the criminal proceeding, or the Public Prosecutor does not agree on the inadmissibility of initiating or continuing criminal proceedings, the limitation period being interrupted until then.

The judicial authority and the Public Prosecutor shall notify the administrative body of the resolution or agreement that they have adopted.

3. If the existence of a criminal offense has not been estimated, or in the event that a resolution of another type has been issued that puts an end to the criminal procedure, the sanctioning procedure may be initiated or continued. In any case, the administrative body will be bound by the facts declared proven in court.

4. The precautionary measures adopted before the judicial intervention may be maintained until the judicial authority decides otherwise. Likewise, without prejudice to the provisions of section 1, the administrative body may adopt other supervening measures that are necessary to guarantee the life, integrity and well-being of the animals involved in the facts, transferring said measures to the judicial authority or, where appropriate, to the Public Prosecutor.
