Exemption from criminal liability in connection with voluntary refusal to commit an offence

(1) Voluntary refusal to commit an offence shall be the termination by a person of preparations to commit an offence or termination of actions (inaction) aimed directly at committing an offence, if the person has realised the possibility of completing the offence until the end.


(2) A person may not be held criminally liable for an offence if he/she has voluntarily and definitively refused to complete the offence.


(3) A person who has voluntarily refused to complete an offence shall be held criminally liable only if the act committed contains another completed offence.


(4) The organizer and instigator of an offence shall not be held criminally liable, if by timely notification to the law enforcement authorities or other undertaken actions they have prevented the completion of the offence by the perpetrator. The accomplice to the offence is not subject to criminal liability if he took all measures within his control to prevent the offence from being committed.
