Article 37 — Accomplice.

(1) An accomplice is a person who intentionally assists a principal criminal either before or during the carrying out of the criminal design, whether by information, advice, supply of means or material aid or assistance of any kind whatsoever in the commission of a crime. (2) An accomplice in an intentional crime shall always be liable to punishment. (3) The accomplice shall be liable to punishment provided the crime was at least attempted. (4) The punishment to be imposed shall be the punishment for the crime in so far as such crime does not go beyond the accomplice's intention (Art. 58(3)); The Court may, taking into account the circumstances of the case, reduce the punishment in respect to an accomplice within the limits specified by law (Art. 179). (5) When the person who committed the crime went beyond what was intended by the accomplice the latter shall be liable to punishment only for the crime he intended or could foresee (Art. 58(3). The actual criminal shall alone be answerable for the more serious crime which he committed.
