The Aggravating Circumstances of Multi-Recidivism in Misdemeanor Against Property
Abstract
The reform of the Criminal Code by Act 1/2015, fight against the phenomenon of habitual misdemeanors
against property, punishing with a disproportionate increase penalty in the case of repeated offences,
taking as the only parameter multi-recidivism in the crime. Nevertheless, the legislative
technique suffers certain defects, which have led the Second Chamber of the Supreme Court to reinterpret
that specific aggravating circumstance the crime of theft and the crime of fraud in order to
avoid its application being considered as a break the principle of guilt for one’s own actions and the
prohibition non bis in idem. With this hermeneutic interpretation, the Supreme Court has managed,
for the time being, avoid the hyper-aggravation of property misdemeanors solely the existence of previous
criminal records.
