Spanish term

prueba presuntiva

Spanish to English Law/Patents Law (general) Cancer
I am translating an interview with an Ecuadorian prosecutor talking about prosecuting money launderers and how to catch them when they enter the country. He explains that the law requires a very high standard of proof in cases of people bringing large quantities of money through the airports. Then he says: "Por eso, digo que es necesario considerar los elementos de prueba presuntiva y prueba indiciaria."

The customs agents work with a profile that helps them determine whom to search. So would it be "predictive evidence and circumstantial evidence"?
