This comprehensive work offers a concise article-by-article interpretation of the Penal Code. It briefly presents the conclusions of various theories, with a more detailed focus on case law.

The organization of the material is systematic, allowing the reader to quickly find, under the relevant article of the Penal Code, the answer to their questions. In addition to developing the elements of each crime's specific nature, the work provides specific references to issues such as attempt, participation, and conspiracy, and also discusses related procedural matters (e.g., changes in charges, appellate review of reasoning, etc.).

Just five years after the introduction of the new Penal Code (2019), approximately 40% of its provisions have undergone some legislative change. Moreover, case law and scientific publications have played a significant interpretative role, contributing to the ongoing development of Legal Science.

This new edition necessarily includes around 2,000 references to decisions and scholarly publications. Naturally, there was an urgent need for extensive revision of the work to ensure that the researcher can access updated and accurate information on the issues they are concerned with.
