Administration of
Harmful Substances<\/h1>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The administration of harmful substances is a criminal offence provided for and punishable under Article 222-15 of the French Criminal Code<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. The material element of the offence of administering harmful substances<\/strong> <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The administration of a harmful substance\u2026 <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For the offence to be established, a positive act is required, namely the administration of harmful substances to another person.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The substance may be liquid, solid, gaseous or take another form. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In any event, it must be harmful to health. However, it must not be lethal, in which case the offence constitutes poisoning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The distinction between a substance that is harmful to health and a lethal substance can be complex, since a harmful substance may become lethal depending on how it is used, the quantity administered and the victim\u2019s individual predispositions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If the harmful substances result in death, the acts may constitute the offence of intentional violence resulting in death without intent to cause death. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u2026which causes harm to the victim\u2019s physical or psychological integrity <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The substance must cause harm to the victim\u2019s integrity: there must be a direct causal link between the administration of the substance and the objectively established harm suffered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Thus, unlike poisoning (a formal offence: the administration of the lethal substance is sufficient, regardless of the outcome), the administration of harmful substances is a result-based offence requiring actual harm to have occurred. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. The intentional element of the offence of administering harmful substances<\/strong> <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      The perpetrator must have knowingly administered the substance that is harmful to health and must have intended to harm the victim\u2019s health or cause harm to their physical or psychological integrity.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n


      Penalties <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The offence of administering harmful substances is punishable in the same manner as intentional violence, namely according to the harm caused. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
