The term of spoliation It definitely does not enjoy a common and fluent use in our language since its reference is usually expressed through other words that are very popular, such is the case of: robbery, theft, usurpation, fraud.

Then, when it is spoken in terms of plunder, that it has been suffered, it will imply that an individual or a group have appropriated something that belonged to them and that they have done it through a methodology virulent and unjust, which did not correspond at all with what the law proposes.

So, basically, whoever perpetrates a plunder or is dedicated to plundering what he is doing is stealing what belongs or is property of other.
