Je vois 2 traductions posibles:

" avez-vous commis des actes illégaux dans le passé?" ou encore
" avez-vous des antécédents judiciaires"... mais pour cette 2e option, il faudrait peut-être voir un peu plus dans le contexte.

agree  Ghyslaine LE NAGARD: Oui pour la 1ère qui est le terme consacré. A l'adresse de Virgile; je doute très fortement que quelqu'un indique volontairement qu'il a commit un quelconque délit s'il ne s'est pas fait prendre! mais sait-on jamais!
