   • 2011 July 31, José Luis Buenestado Barroso, Derecho Penal Parte Especial y las Consecuencias Jurídicas del Delito en España, Bubok, →ISBN, page 402:

     Los hechos falsos que se imputan, que de ser ciertos serían constitutivos de delito o falta, no precisan de definición técnico-jurídica, sino que la denuncia sea suficiente como para que pueda deducirse que la persona a quien se le imputan ha cometido una infracción penal.

     The false facts that are attributed, which if true would constitute a crime or offense, do not require a technical-legal definition, but rather that the accusation is sufficient for it to be inferred that the person to whom they are attributed has committed a criminal offense.

   • 2012, Rev Oscar Garcia, Exponiendo Conceptos Teológico y Doctrinales, WestBow Press, →ISBN, page 95:

     La Biblia presenta tres clases de imputaciones: Primeramente el pecado de Adán es imputado a su descendencia (Romanos 5:12-14). En segundo lugar, el pecado de la humanidad es imputado a Cristo (2 Corintios 5:21) y en tercer lugar, la justicia de Dios es imputada a los que creen en Cristo […]

     The Bible presents three categories of imputations: Firstly, the sin of Adam is imputed to his descendants (Romans 5:12-14). Second, the sin of humanity is imputed to Christ (2 Corinthians 5:21), and third, the justice of God is imputed to those who believe in Christ […]

2. (transitive) to accuse

   Synonym: acusar

   imputarle delitos a alguien ― accuse someone of a crime

   • 1871, José María de Pereda, Don Gonzalo González de la Gonzalera, chapter 18:

     Y esta falta, ¿se me puede imputar a mí como una culpa?

     And that lack, can I be accused of it being my fault?

   • 2015 September 15, “Anticorrupción pide la imputación del exministro Pimentel en los ERE”, in El País‎^[1]:

     piden la imputación de Pimentel y otras 24 personas —algunas ya imputadas en la causa

   • 2017 July 14, “Peligroso asaltante de Mexicali cae en Tijuana”, in Frontera.info‎^[2]:

     Cabe señalar que el imputado, también es investigado por el asalto a un cuentahabiente en Tijuana cometido en fecha reciente, por lo que no se descarta puedan imputárseles más delitos.

     It's worth pointing out that the accused is also being investigated in relation to the recently-committed assault of an accountholder in Tijuana, therefore there is the possibility of accusing him of further crimes.
