Spanish term or phrase: se hayan cometido y se cometan en mi perjucio,
Good Afternoon ProZ,

I need help with the translation of the following phrase: “que se hayan cometido y se cometan en mi perjucio,”


Context: PARA PLEITOS Y COBRANZAS, con todas las facultades generales y las especiales que requieran cláusula especial conforme a la Ley, a fin de que se sirva representarme en todos los negocios que tengo actualmente y en los que se me ofrezcan en lo sucesivo, en materia Civil, Penal, Fiscal, Mercantil, Administrativa, para formular denuncias y querellas penales por delitos que se hayan cometido y se cometan en mi perjucio.

My attempt: FOR COLLECTIONS AND LAWSUITS, all general powers and even any special powers requiring a special clause in accordance with the Law, for the purposes of representing me in all of the businesses that I currently have and in the following which are offered to me: Civic, Criminal, Tax, Commercial, Administrative matters, to file complaints and lawsuits for crimes that have been committed and committed to damage my reputation.

English translation:(that have been) committed to my detriment
Explanation:
I don't think "that have been" is necessary, but if you had to translate more closely to the original then I'd include that. Often the same verb in Spanish is often used twice in two different forms (e.g. "se hayan cometido y se cometan") for emphasis when in English one form would suffice. For emphasis, "actively committed" comes to mind, but some other more legit variant of that could work.

Explanation:
I think "to my detriment" is redundant and sounds odd. Any crime committed against you is to your detriment.

  -> Of course it's committed by the other party. You can't commit a crime against yourself.
