||
| 30.3 | The Responsibility of Accomplices in a Crime | |
| The responsibility of accomplices in a crime shall be determined by the character and the degree of the actual participation of each of them in the commission of the crime. |
||
| Co-perpetrators shall be answerable under Articles of this Code for a crime committed by them jointly. |
||
| A person who is not a participant in a crime and who has taken part in the commission of the crime, stipulated by Articles of the Code, shall bear criminal responsibility for the given offence as its organizer, instigator, or accessory. |
