The discipline of environmental and urban planning crimes referred to in white-collar criminal law involves a constellation of regulations that can be difficult to navigate, and which must be interpreted differently depending on the specific case.
The same sanctions can be reduced or increased depending on the circumstances in which the violation was committed and the responsibility of the perpetrator. A reduction in the duration of imprisonment and the amount of the fine is provided for in cases where the offense is negligent rather than intentional: when the suspect, although having committed the illegal act, did not intend to intentionally carry out the action that resulted in the harmful event.
Conversely, aggravating factors include compromising an ecosystem or the urban environment with consequences more profound and numerous than those provided by the definition of the offense, or posing a threat to public health and people's lives.
