Intent

Article (9): Intent is there if the perpetrator of a crime carries out such a deed willfully, knowingly and with the intent of realizing the result that is punishable;
neither the existence of an intent with cause for carrying out a crime or the purpose thereof shall be taken into account, unless the law stipulates otherwise. Intent is also realized if the perpetrator expects a criminal result for carrying out a deed and he perpetrated the deed accepting such result accordingly.
