Sorry I can’t give an authoritative answer to your interesting question, but I can say with some authority that it should be “cómo” (with an accent); this is akin to an indirect question.
Quebrar is commonly used in that context.

I followed up and looked up quebrantar in the Real Academia Española.and copied this: 5. tr. Traspasar, violar una ley, palabra u obligación. So Google Translate and Clozemaster’s translations are both correct in this sentence’s context. Thanks everyone for your input.
