The 2015 penal reform (LO 1/2015, of March 30) introduced the breach of the enforceable obligations as an alternative requirement to the declaration of bankruptcy for the punishment of the bankruptcy offense. This has raised, among others, the two problems that are addressed in this work: 1. The relationship between the breach of enforceable obligations and the typical concept of insolvency. 2. Conviction for bankruptcy crime without a declaration of bankruptcy.
