Questão jurídica principal
Whether complicity under Art. 25 CP is punishable only if the principal offence has reached at least the attempt stage.
Decisão extraída
Complicity is punishable only if the principal offence has at least begun execution; mere acquisition of tools intended for drug packaging is insufficient absent an attempted principal offence.
Fundamentação extraída
The term 'committing' in Art. 25 CP includes attempted offences, but accessory participation remains punishable only once the principal conduct has reached the threshold of attempt. Here, it was not established that the packaging material had actually been used or that the principal offence had reached attempt.
