Selected provisions
Article 471-A - Invasion

(Unofficial translation) Anyone who, with the purpose of obtaining illicit gain for themselves or a third party, invades land, property, or improvements belonging to another, shall be imprisoned for five to ten years and fined fifty tax units (50 TU) to two hundred tax units (200 TU). The mere act of invading, without obtaining any gain, shall entail the aforementioned penalty reduced at the Judge's discretion by up to one-sixth.

Quien con el propósito de obtener para sí o para un tercero provecho ilícito, invada terreno, inmueble o bienhechuría, ajenas, incurrirá en prisión de cinco años a diez años y multa de cincuenta unidades tributarias (50 U.T.) a doscientas unidades tributarias (200 U.T.). El sólo hecho de invadir, sin que se obtenga provecho, acarreará la pena anterior rebajada a criterio del Juez hasta en una sexta parte.

Article 175

(Unofficial translation) . Any person who, without authority or right to do so, by means of threats, violence, or other unlawful coercion, forces another person to carry out an act that the law does not require of them, or to tolerate it, or prevents them from carrying out any act that is not prohibited by law, shall be punished with imprisonment from fifteen days to thirty months.

Cualquiera que, sin autoridad o derecho para ello, por medio de amenazas, violencias u otros apremios ilegítimos, forzare a una persona a ejecutar un acto a que la ley no la obliga o a tolerarlo o le impidiere ejecutar alguno que no le está prohibido por la misma, será penado con prisión de quince días a treinta meses.
