2) libel

Explanation:

Its a term used in Criminal Procedural Law, which translates into the statement presented in writing by the prosecution stating what is intended to prove to the magistrate against the defendant, concluding with the declaration of the sentence that he considers to be ideal for the conviction of the accused. It is a written narration of the criminal fact with its circumstances, ending with the conclusion and request for the penalty provided for by law to which the defendant must be submitted.
