Article 109Arson of Uninhabited Buildings

第百九条(非現住建造物等放火)

A person who sets fire to and burns a building, vessel, or mine not being used as dwelling or in which persons are not actually present is punished by imprisonment for a definite term of 2 years or more.

放火して、現に人が住居に使用せず、かつ、現に人がいない建造物、艦船又は鉱坑を焼損した者は、二年以上の有期拘禁刑に処する。

When the object prescribed in the preceding paragraph belongs to the offender, imprisonment for 6 months or more and 7 years or less is imposed; provided, however, that if there is no resulting danger to the public, such act is not punishable.

前項の物が自己の所有に係るときは、六月以上七年以下の拘禁刑に処する。ただし、公共の危険を生じなかったときは、罰しない。
