Bus/Financial - Finance (general) / Investigation of fiscal impropriety
Italian term or phrase: inc.
I'm translating a transcript of court hearings on alleged fiscal impropriety. In the transcribed text, the abbreviation "inc." appears a few times. It seems to indicate that something has been left out. Does anybody know what the abbreviation means?

incomprehensible
Explanation:
I would guess that the transcriber used this abbreviation when s/he was unable to make out what was being said on the recording, and therefore left it out of the written transcription.

This is definitely the right answer, since it's a transcription and something appears to have been omitted. The Italian is "incomprensibile".
Thanks!

incomplete


Explanation:
I'm simply guessing here.

Inc. could stand for "incompleto/a", that is "incomplete".

Let's wait for some more suggestions, though.

inconclusive


Explanation:
Inc. could stand for "inconcludente", that is "inconclusive", which is often found in legal texts as leading to no conclusion or definite result

It's just another suggestion, cf. "inconclusive evidence", "an inconclusive argument"
