This answer needs tweaking for this context. There is a difference between cometer (commit) and consumar (fully commit), and this difference is important for your context.
En los supuestos de infracciones continuadas, el plazo de prescripción comenzará a contar desde el momento de la finalización de la actividad o del último acto con el que la infracción se consuma.
For alleged continuous offenses, the statute of limitations shall begin to run from the moment the activity ends or from the last act that finalizes the perpetration of the offense.

Note from asker:
| Thank you Sandro, I didn't realise that consuma meant commit!! Clumsy me today :-0(( |
| Should I then mention "finalizes the perpetration of the offense" in my text Sandro? |

Robert Carter
: I think this most likely means "the last time the offense is committed", as opposed to the first time (e.g., of failure to separate rubbish). Saludos!

Yes, definitely the last time an offense was committed as opposed to the last act to fully perpetrate a crime. Thank you, Robert.

Infringement is consummated
Both words are expressing a violation of rights already done
Example sentence:
Rewarding the fact that the infringement had been consummated,
Relief against the act of trademark infringement consummated in Mexico

: "consummated" has a TOTALLY different meaning; look it up!

Now that I know your set of facts, and that the term “continuada” is being properly used, I would go with my original answer: with which the offense is committed.
For example, if someone wants to blow up a car and buys a stick of dynamite and places it under a car, it is not enough to commit the crime of criminal mischief (or something similar). It is not fully perpetrated. But if the person lights the dynamite, it goes off and the car is toast, the perpetration is finalized.
