Criminal Code [Strafgesetzbuch] (StGB), 1975

Under certain circumstances the intermediary can be criminally responsible as a coperpertrator. The criminal responsibility of coperpertrators is specified in the Austrian Criminal Code (StGB). The code affirms that persons who knowingly and willingly contribute to a criminal activity (Section 12) can be held criminally responsible. This requires an active contribution which exceeds the safe harbors of the Sections 13 – 17 ECG. See below Regional Criminal Court in Graz
