From Alcaraz Varo & Hughes, Diccionario de terminos juridicos:
presuncion:
presumption, suspicion
allegation:
denuncia, alegacion, aseveracion, manifestacion, alegato, razon, excusa, disculpa, etc.
From these definitions it may be seen that *presuncion*, in Spanish, and *allegation*, in English, refer to two different things. Specifically, a *presuncion* refers to a *mental attitude* whereas an *allegation* refers to a charge of misconduct that is *verbally expressed*.
This comes from a legal dictionary that is widely considered an authoritative reference. If *presuncion* is actually used to mean *allegation*, I would be interested in seeing references where it is clearly used in this way, and in reference sources that authorize such a usage.
Suerte.

Robert Forstag
: An "allegation" is not the same thing as a "suspicion" or a "presumption". Look up the words and you'll see. I simply stated a disagreement and backed it up. You, however, have resorted to personal insult, thus violating Kudoz rules.
