centrado

[elkerre]

Hello Every One,

I was wondering if you could help me with this simple sounding sentence:

"No ponía en duda que el oficial hubiera centrado el caso, pero eso no justificaba aquella algarabía."

My try:

"He did not question that the officer had focused (centered?) the case, but that did not justify that hullabaloo."

It doesn't sound right; could centrado mean something like encauzar/channeled?

Thanks, again.

Suena como a jerga de policía. Ni siquiera en Google aparecen resultados para ello.

Sí, es jerga de policía. Es la palabra centrado que no me acaba de convencer.

¿Y no será un error y debería decir "cerrado"?

Eureka! Yes, I think that may very well be the answer indeed. Thanks. (If it's not, it sure sounds better.)

Very well done, Andoush.
