Article 179
Mitigated Perjury and False Testimony
A person who commits an offence under Articles 175-178 and who corrects or withdraws his perjury or false statement, during the same proceeding before the perjury or false statement has had any harmful impact,
#is guilty of mitigated perjury and false testimony, a Class 3 petty offence, punishable with a definite term of imprisonment of not more than 1 month, or a fine of 500 – 5,000 Nakfas, to be set in intervals of 500 Nakfas.
#If the Court believes that the circumstances under which the offence under sub-Article (1) have been committed deserve no punishment or where the correction or withdrawal was prompted by honesty, the Court may impose no penalty (Article 66) and may give a sentence of reprimand accompanied by a warning for the future.
