Spanish term or phrase: Pena de presidio menor en su grado medio a maximo
This statement appears at the end of a balance sheet, which is part of a loan application to a Chilean bank. Basically the person who falsifies information on the application "sufrira la pena de presidio menor en su grado medio a maximo." Any ideas on the best way to render this in English.

Thanks,

Doug
