Slanderous denunciation The Civil Police reminds us that accusing someone of a crime knowing that the person is innocent constitutes slanderous denunciation, provided for in Article 339 of the Penal Code. Delegate Katiúscia Pinheiro, head of the Robbery and Vehicle Theft Suppression Police Station, highlighted that false reports consume time, agents, vehicles and public resources in unfounded investigations. “This waste affects the efficiency of public security, because professionals and tools that should act on real crimes end up diverted to false demands,” said the delegate. The penalty for slanderous reporting can be up to 8 years in prison, in addition to a fine. See the latest news from g1 Amapá VIDEOS with news from Amapá:
