tener parte, ser participe

Explanation:
You can also use these. These terms imply that someone had something to do in the fraud but no responsability has actually been determined. Complice implies an act of willingness to commit a crime and also, in my experience, it defines an actor in an illicit endeavour once responsabilities have already been adjudicated.

Flavio Posse: Estas asumiendo que existe intención delictiva cuando el texto no lo demuestra. Un partícipe no es necesariamente cómplice/the translation of this term could mean jail or freedom to a person.

hugocar: Flavio, lee bien la definición que nos da Sinead, tomada de Oxford, donde queda claro que 'to be a party of' equivale a ser cómplice. El 'party' no es pasivo.
