Delegado De Polícia Federal Practice Questions - Concurso Público Para Provimento De Vagas No Cargo De Delegado De Polícia Federal Exam

Acts of preparation (atos preparatórios) are generally punishable per se even if they do not constitute autonomous offenses, provided the perpetrator's subjective intent is unequivocally proven. An attempted offense (crime tentado) requires the commencement of execution (início dos atos executórios) and non-consummation due to circumstances independent of the perpetrator's will, punishable with the penalty of the consummated crime reduced by one to two thirds. Desistência voluntária (voluntary desistment) and arrependimento eficaz (effective repentance) maintain the attempt liability but mandate a statutory reduction of the penalty by two thirds. Arrependimento posterior (posterior repentance) applies to all crimes committed with violence or grave threat, provided full restitution of property occurs before the formal criminal indictment is received.
