The person who committed for the first time a not grave or medium-gravity crime can be exempted from criminal liability, if he, after the committal of the crime, surrendered, assisted in solving the crime of his own accord, compensated or mitigated the inflicted damage in some other way.

The willful acts, for the committal of which the Criminal Code envisages maximal imprisonment of two years, or for which a punishment not related to imprisonment is envisaged, as well as acts committed through negligence, for which the Code envisages a punishment not exceeding three years of imprisonment, are considered not very grave crimes.

Medium-gravity crimes are those willful acts for which Criminal Code envisages a maximal punishment not exceeding five years of imprisonment, and the acts committed through negligence, for which the Code envisages a maximal punishment not exceeding ten years of imprisonment.

Persons that have committed crimes of another type are exempted from criminal liability only in cases envisaged in the Article of the Special Part of the Criminal Code.
