(Subject/document) clearly accepts/admits to the charges brought upon


Explanation:
I believe the subject of the sentence is missing here, in order to provide a correct opinion. É confesso - Who or what? The defendant, a document?

Notes to answerer
Asker: Sim Bett. A frase está no final de um parágrafo que descreve os crimes pelo que o réu responde - então, como entendo, seria em referência ao réu mesmo.

Explanation:
A variation's on Ana's theme.

Notes to answerer
Asker: It's a Brazilian case, but the client is a US law firm - confissão judicial is the equivalent to a guilty plea, so I think your suggestion fits best. Thank you!

Asker: As a side note: For the US legalese I'll alter it to "has pleaded guilty"
