A misdemeanor is a degree of qualification of criminal offenses which is defined by the seriousness of the penalty provided for them and which are, with some exceptions, judged by a criminal court. The misdemeanor is an offense of intermediate seriousness between a contravention and a crime. The maximum length of imprisonment is 10 years and the fine can go up to 3,750 euros for a natural person and 18,750 euros for a legal entity.
