Offences of discovery and disclosure of private information after the reform of 2015 (Sections 197, 197 bis, 197 ter, 197 quarter, 197 quinquies and 198 of the Penal Code).

Abstract

The reform of the Penal Code enacted in 2015 has also had its effect on the discovery and disclosure of private information offences. In particular, while maintaining some types of crimes, this reform moved other offences to other locations, changed some types of crimes and created new offences. These new criminal offences have been created in order to adopt the transposition of European Directive 2013/40/UE. All changes will require a review of the most significant criminal offences of Chapter I, Title X of Penal Code, an assessment and its effect from this point on.
