delito asociativo
This is from El Salvador and I have been using their Penal Code as a reference to understand what these mean so that they can be standardized and translated in the best way possible into English. It's about the Penal Code regarding gangs (MS13, 18th Street).
I'm seeing ASSOCIATIVE CRIME and CRIME OF ASSOCIATION
I think CRIME OF ASSOCIATION is a better way to put it since ASSOCIATIVE CRIME is literal. Although, I still think that the original term is vague. From reading up on the subject I found that this wording has been updated as AGRUPACIONES ILICITAS (which is another term and question) so that leads me to understand this as the charges being for having connections or being members of the gangs/maras.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

criminal conspiracy
In criminal law, a conspiracy is an agreement between two or more persons to commit a crime at some time in the future. Criminal law in some countries or for some conspiracies may require that at least one overt act be undertaken in furtherance of that agreement, to constitute an offense. (Wikipedia)

| Yes, in fact they even refer to the person as "el incoado". I think what makes this even more confusing is that they're using delito asociativo and agrupaciones ilicitas back and forth and it appears to mean the same thing. |

criminal association
(El delito asociativo se relaciona con el crimen organizado u la participación de un individuo con un grupo que conspira (confabula) para realizar una actividad criminal. La conspiración (o la confabulación) en si puede ser casi tan importante como el crimen o la actividad.)
"La participación del acusado en una organización delincuente es el ofensivo, más que un acuerdo con miembros de la asociación u organización, o la planificación de un crimen con otros, que es el enfoque central de la conspiracía o confabulación."
"While conspiracy is the main legal element for addressing criminal enterprises, it's dealt with as the offense of criminal association. Participation of the accused in a criminal organization or planning a crime with others is the focus of conspiracy."
Mientras que la confabulación es el principal elemento legal usado para dirigirse a una empresa delincuente, está tratada como el ofensivo del delito asociativo. "
