Spanish term or phrase: sean llevados a consecuencias ulteriores
Hola,

El abajo es una continuación de mi consulta anterior:

- Sin detrimento de sus tareas de prevención, la Policía Nacional por iniciativa propia, por denuncia, o por orden del fiscal, deberá proceder a investigar cualquier hecho que pudiera constituir delito o falta, a impedir que los hechos cometidos **sean llevados a consecuencias ulteriores**, a individualizar y aprehender a los autores y partícipes, y a reunir elementos de investigación útiles y demás elementos de información necesarios para dar base al ejercicio de la acción por el Ministerio Público.

Desde ya, agradezco todos sus aportes!

preventing these acts from having [any] further consequences
Explanation:
The reference seems to be to **the same acts** having further consequences (and not specifically to "further unlawful acts").

"Widening out to further consequences" is not idiomatic.

lead to further unlawful acts


Explanation:
I think this is what they are getting at. It is understood that we are trying to avoid the "consequences" of these further unlawful acts, but including the consequences makes the sentence too clumsy in English IMO.

impedir que ... sean llevados a consecuencias ulteriores
stop .... widening out to further consequences


Explanation:
coll. > active rather than widened-out passive : widening out to vs. culminating in subsequent fall-out

subsequent consequences would be a tautology.
