5.1 Sanction Criteria
21. That, having determined the commission of the infringements imputed, it corresponds to evaluate the sanction in accordance with article 25 of the Sanctions Regulation, concordant with numeral 3) of article 248 of the TUO of the LPAG and article 344 of the TUO of the LMV, which develop the criteria for graduation of sanction: (i) the sanction antecedents of the issuer, (ii) recidivism, (iii) the circumstances of the commission of the infringement, (iv) the economic damage caused and its repercussion on the market, (v) the illicit benefit resulting from the commission of the infringement, (vi) the probability of detection of the infringement, (vii) the gravity of the damage to the public interest and/or protected legal good and (viii) the existence or not of intent in the conduct of the infractor;
