Criminal Code (Spain)

The Criminal Code of Spain codifies most criminal offenses in the country, enacted as Organic Law 10/1995, passed by the Spanish Parliament on 8 November 1995, published later that month, and in force from 25 May 1996. It replaced the Criminal Code of 1944, which had continued in force with various reforms through Spain's transition to democracy. The code is divided into general provisions on penalties and criminal liability and a special part defining specific offenses from unlawful killing to crimes against the state, and it has been amended more than thirty times since its enactment.
