Article 65Complicity and Status

第六十五条(身分犯の共犯)

When a person collaborates in a criminal act in which the status of the criminal establishes the criminal's punishability, the person is an accomplice even without such status.

犯人の身分によって構成すべき犯罪行為に加功したときは、身分のない者であっても、共犯とする。

When the severity of a punishment varies depending upon whether or not a criminal has a certain status, a normal punishment is imposed on a person without such status.

身分によって特に刑の軽重があるときは、身分のない者には通常の刑を科する。
