Just to clarify matters, the terms "configurazione" / "configurabilità" refer directly to the existence of an offence in the case under examination, and do not refer to the liability for that offence. In theory, such terms may be used to describe an offence from a theoretical/academic point of view, without any reference to a prosecution or the liability of the/an offender.

The reference is to the material facts (whether or not they can be deemed as constituting a certain offence), and not to the liability of a person for them.

"configurabilità" = "possible commission"

"configurazione" = "commission"

apologies for the "non-pro" vote - it was a mistake and I don't know how to "unvote" it.

agree  philgoddard: Yes, you should be able to change your mind about non-pro votes. And the implication of "configurabilità" is "possible existence of", in other words the defendant is charged with obstruction of justice.
3 mins
neutral  Sebastiano Massimo Barbagallo: The source text refers immediately to the existence of the material facts constituting an offence, not to the liability for it. In theory, an offence could exist in its material aspects without a person liable for it being identified.

Always need a little creativity in the wording to translate this one

disagree  Sebastiano Massimo Barbagallo: Your answer would be acceptable for "configurazione" (i.e. the 2nd phrase), but not for the term actually needing an answer, which is "configurabilità" (the 1st phrase!). // Your solution is still unsuitable for the 1st phrase: you can't translate it!

  -> In the context the possibitity of it having been committed implicit in the "abilità" part of the word is fully expressed by the word "presumed".
