The 26th edition of the Penal Code in the “Pocket Codes” series became necessary after the recent legislative interventions implemented through the highly anticipated Law 5090/2024 ("Interventions in the Penal Code and the Code of Criminal Procedure to accelerate and qualitatively upgrade criminal trials – Modernization of the legislative framework for the prevention and combating of domestic violence" – Government Gazette A΄ 30/23.2.2024).

From the activation of the new Penal Code until the amendments made by Law 5090/2024, the text of the Code has undergone two hundred sixty-four (264) legislative changes in one hundred sixty-two (162) different articles and three (3) chapter titles. All these legislative changes are listed in the relevant Legislative Changes Table, whose value remains undeniable over time, especially in the context of codification of substantive criminal law, given the validity of the principle of retroactivity.
