See below Explanation: I am sure that I do not need to say that incriminating does not fit the context. In legal context it would fit though. I too have tried to find something in the Internet but to no avail. Maybe something along the lines of "conclusions which are disputable" or "subject to possible scrutiny". When I think about belastbar, I do not think that indisputable would be quite right. Of course further context might make it clearer. |

unequivocal statements Explanation: This is an admittedly "liberal" translation, but that's what I get out of the German, that it's something clear and indisputable. Hope this helps a bit! |

clear statements Explanation: I don't think "incriminating" is necessarily a bad choice. It is correct, that in a legal context it might fit better. However "disputable" might not be the best choice either. Since the meaning of it is "zweifelhaft" or "bestreitend" it doesn't fit to well in my opinion. Since the german word "eindeutig" could be a replacement for "belastbar" in this context, I might even go simple and think about using "clear statements" |
