VOLUME I - GENERAL PROVISIONS

TITLE II - PUNISHABLE DEEDS

CHAPTER II - CHARACTERISTICS OF A PUNISHABLE DEED

Article 34
(Ongoing crime)

1. If the same or different standard types of crime are repeatedly committed with respect fundamentally to the same legal asset, and are carried out in an essentially homogeneous manner and within a framework of the same external causal circumstances that significantly lessens the perpetrator's culpability, they shall constitute a single crime.

2. The preceding paragraph shall not apply to offences with respect to legal assets of an eminently personal nature, except in the case of those offences that constitute offences against sexual freedom and honour, in which case, taking into account the nature of the deed and the provision violated, a decision shall be made as to whether or not an ongoing crime is involved.
