Spanish term or phrase: dolo directo/indirecto
La pertenencia de las personas a las que se atribuyen tales prácticas a etnias o grupos culturales con deficiencias de integración social y asunción del bagaje cultural y valorativo de las sociedades europeas obligan a una cuidadosa, sosegada y ponderada valoración de la culpabilidad, partiendo de la alusión contenida en la propia Exposición de Motivos de la norma en cuanto al carácter injustificable de tales prácticas y que con rotundidad se proclama la inviabilidad de cualquier intento de fundamentar la justificación de estos deleznables comportamientos ,sin que ello cierre definitivamente el planteamiento en sede de culpabilidad de sus autores cuando se constate un claro y manifiesto aislamiento cultural y social, apuntando la posible aplicación de las reglas del error de prohibición del art. 14.3 del C.Penal, lo cual no cabe postular si lo que hay no es tanto un déficit cognitivo, de conocimiento de la antijuricidad ,sino una falta de reconocimiento o asunción interna del contenido valorativo de la norma.

El delito puede ser cometido mediante dolo directo, o de primer grado, o, por dolo indirecto, eventual o de segundo grado, siendo en este último caso relevante la posición de garante de los familiares más directos de la menor o menores víctimas de la ablación acudiendo, inclusive, a la doctrina de la comisión por omisión.

direct intent/indirect intent
Explanation:
I recently had to translate these concepts, so I'm including additional information below in the event it may prove useful:

dolo directo, (also called:) dolo directo de primer grado; dolo inmediato--direct intent; direct intent in the first degree; dolus directus; purposeful mens rea (the "elemento volitivo" of dolo: intentional/purposeful/willful element; acting intentionally/purposefully/willingly)

dolo indirecto, (also called:) dolo directo de segundo grado; dolo mediato; dolo de consecuencias necesarias--indirect intent; direct intent in the second degree; dolus indirectus; mens rea of knowledge (the "elemento cognitivo" of dolo: intellectual/knowledge element; acting knowingly)

Just for info:

Spanish criminal theory (as expounded upon in law school textbooks) also includes a third category of "dolo": "dolo eventual," which is often rendered as dolus eventualis or conditional intent and equated with recklessness. I will check to see where "oblique intent" fits into this scheme.

agree  Sandro Tomasi: “Direct and indirect intent” is a very good solution to a very complex problem. You’ve done an excellent job with subcategorizing the variations.

agree  Adrian MM. (X): dolo indirecto might have the trappings of a dolo eventual: http://www.proz.com/kudoz/spanish_to_english/law_general/727... oblique intent/recklessness (Tom West III) TT previously Kirsty MacC

Reference: direct vs. oblique intent

Reference information:
dolo eventual: recklessness (Ton West III)

conditional intent: a prospective shop-lifter goes into a store intending to steal something, but nothing specific.

Oblique or indirect intent: a prankster fires an air gun at his enemy but hits a passer-by instead.
