Geneva Criminal Defense Law Firm
Understanding Murder Charges under Article 111 of the Swiss Criminal Code
Murder, as defined under Article 111 of the Swiss Criminal Code, represents one of the most severe criminal offenses. This provision categorizes murder as the intentional killing of another person without any specific aggravating or mitigating factors that could reclassify the act into other categories such as assassination or manslaughter.
To constitute murder under this article, the prosecution must establish two critical elements: the intent to kill and the resulting death of the victim.
If convicted of murder under Article 111 of the Swiss Penal Code, the penalties are stringent, reflecting the crime's gravity. The convicted individual faces a custodial sentence ranging from a minimum of five years.
Navigating a murder charge can be overwhelming, and it is crucial to have experienced legal representation. Our law firm provides expert legal defense, ensuring that every aspect of your case is meticulously examined to uphold your rights and seek the most favorable outcome possible.
