A person who participates in committing a crime shall bear its penalty, saving that which is legally
excepted by a special provision. However:
First: The special conditions of the doer which necessitate changing the description of the crime
shall not affect the accomplice if the latter is not aware of such conditions.
Second: If the description of the crime changes in view of the doer's intention or the way he learns
of it, the accomplice shall receive the penalty he deserves if the doer's intention from the crime or
his knowledge of it is same as the accomplice's intention or knowledge of the crime.
Article 42
If the doer of the crime is not subject to punishment for a cause of permissiveness, the nonexistence of the criminal cause, or for other conditions related to him/her, the accomplice shall
however receive the penalty as legally prescribed therefor.
Article 43
A person who joins in committing a crime shall receive its punishment, even if it is not the one he
premeditated to commit, once the crime that is actually committed has been a potential result of
instigation, agreement, or the assistance taking place.
Article 44
If the same judgement is passed against several defendants for the same crime, whether they are
doers or accomplices, the fines shall be ruled against each of them separately. This is contrary to
the relative fines as the defendants shall bear them jointly unless otherwise prescribed in the court
ruling.
Article 44 bis
Whoever hides stolen objects, or objects obtained through a committed felony or misdemeanor,
while being aware of it, shall be punished with penal servitude for a period not exceeding two years.
If the offender is aware that the objects he hides are obtained from a crime for which a stricter
penalty is imposed, he shall be punished with the penalty prescribed for this crime.
