Criminal organisations

Participation in a criminal organisation is participation in a criminal organisation or a prohibited legal entity. The purpose of the organisation is to commit crimes. If you or someone close to you is suspected of participating in a criminal organisation, it is important to call in an expert lawyer. The lawyers at our firm have a great deal of experience in handling criminal cases, including cases involving participation in a criminal organisation. Please contact us for assistance and advice.


Participation in a criminal organisation is punishable under Article 140 of the Penal Code. You will find the legal text below:

 

Article 140
Participation in an organisation with the intent to commit offences shall be punishable by imprisonment of up to six years or a fifth category fine.

 

Penalty for participating in a criminal organisation

Many people wonder what punishment someone can expect for participating in a criminal organisation, but that question can never be answered just like that. Punishment is tailor-made. In the case of a conviction, the judge looks at all kinds of factors, such as the circumstances under which the offence was committed, the person of the suspect, the maximum sentence and judgments in similar cases. The lawyers at our firm can make a realistic assessment of a possible penalty, even if it is ultimately up to the court to make the decision.
