Intentional murder is one of the most serious crimes contemplated by the Italian Penal Code, characterized by the intention to cause the death of another person. This crime is governed by Article 575 of the Penal Code, which establishes the circumstances under which a person can be found guilty of intentional murder.
To establish intentional murder, it is necessary to demonstrate two fundamental elements:
"Intention and action combine for a direct line towards the tragic outcome of death."
The crime of intentional murder can be aggravated by various circumstances, leading to a harsher penalty. Among these are the use of particularly cruel means, premeditation, or the fact that the victim is a public official in the exercise of their duties.
The penalty for intentional murder is imprisonment, with a minimum of 21 years, but it can be increased to life imprisonment in the presence of aggravating factors. The severity of the penalty highlights the importance of this crime in society and its impact on the community.
