...

e) Confiscation of a driving licence or any other certificate granting permission to perform specific acts; deprivation of the right to carry out a profession or to operate in a certain area of activity for a minimum term of between one-half and twice the term of imprisonment, where an offence has been committed failing to discharge a duty of care and attention or by abusing authority or a right.
