Orientative data computed from the highest prison term this article provides for (including the degree rules it imposes itself or the penalties of another article it refers to) and, where there is one, its disqualification, which also counts towards the classification and the limitation period (arts. 33 & 131.1 CP). Aggravated or mitigated subtypes, other non-custodial penalties and concurrence rules may alter the outcome in each specific case.
