About this statute

This text is the preamble to a law that announces amendments to certain articles of the Luxembourg Penal Code. An attempted crime is punished with the next lower penalty than the completed crime. The penalties in Articles 473, 474, and 475 still apply even if the theft or extortion was not completed because of circumstances beyond the offenders' control. If rape causes the victim's death, the offender is punished by 15 to 20 years' imprisonment. Murder committed to facilitate rape or secure impunity for rape is punished by life imprisonment.
