Chapter I
Principles of penal liability

Article 8. A crime may be committed only with intent ; the misdemeanour may also be
committed without intent, if the law so stipulates.

Article 9. § 1. A prohibited act is committed with intent when the perpetrator has the will to
commit it, that is when he is willing to commit or foreseeing the possibility of perpetrating it, he accepts
it.

§ 2. A prohibited act is committed without intent when the perpetrator not having the intent to
commit it, nevertheless does so because he is not careful in the manner required under the
circumstances, although he should or could have foreseen the possibility of committing the prohibited act.

§ 3. The perpetrator shall be liable to a more severe liability which the law makes contingent on a
certain consequence of a prohibited act, if he has and could have foreseen such a consequence.
