It should be noted that this offence is quite subsidiary in application. Under the Chilean criminal justice system, it would usually be appropriate to apply the penalty for the offence of unlawful terrorist association, which carries a heavier sentence, or, where appropriate, for the specific terrorist offence for which the person provided the funds and, is therefore regarded as an accessory before the fact or even, if aware of the specific offence for which the funds are provided, as a co-perpetrator; if none of these situations apply, the penalty for the financing offence in question would be applied or, if unlawful association were involved, the penalty for that offence would be applied.
Il convient de noter que les dispositions régissant cette infraction sont appliquées à titre subsidiaire : l'infraction que sanctionne normalement le Code pénal est l'association terroriste illicite, qui est punie plus sévèrement, ou, le cas échéant, le délit de terrorisme imputable à toute personne qui fournit les fonds susmentionnés et qui est, de ce fait, considérée comme complice ou alors comme coauteur si elle est au fait de l'infraction qu'elle finance; à défaut, les délits retenus sont ceux du financement en question ou de l'association illicite.
