Italian term or phrase: violazione contestate
Decreto Legislativo n. 472/1997, nel varare una nuova disciplina delle sanzioni tributarie non penali, ha introdotto il principio della personalita della sanzione in forza del quale tutti coloro che agiscono in nome, per conto e nell'interesse della societa possono essere chiamati a rispondere in proprio per **violazione contestate** commesse nell'esercizio delle loro funzioni.

I don't feel that a literal "contested violations" would be legally speaking right - all suggestions greately appreciated...

Explanation:
I recommend restructuring the phrase to smooth it out -- something like this: "...for the violations they are accused of committing while carrying out their function."

charged infringements


Explanation:
"contestare" is "to charge" for the accusations and I'd call them infringements of that law.
