is the same as saying


Explanation:
I think the meaning conveyed in this case is that one accusation is similar to the other in the context.

O especial tipo de culpa do homicídio doloso é em definitivo conformado através da verificação da “especial censurabilidade ou perversidade” do agente.
octalberto.no.sapo.pt/homicidio_qualificado.htm

II - Conforme ensina Figueiredo Dias “o homicídio qualificado não é mais do que uma forma agravada de homicídio simples”. Temos assim que é, apenas e só, aquela especial censurabilidade ou perversidade do agente a matriz da agravação/qualificação do homicídio, não podendo este ocorrer sem aquela.
