What is the Crime of Insult? | Izmir Criminal Lawyer | Izmir Law Firm<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Law No. 5237 Turkish Penal Code<\/a>\u2019According to Article 125 of the law, "A person who attributes a concrete act or fact to another person that is likely to offend their honor, reputation, and dignity, or who attacks a person's honor, reputation, and dignity by insulting them...", thus clarifying how insult can occur and, most importantly, which actions the law considers insulting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The crime of insult, or verbal abuse, can be committed in the presence of the victim, in their absence, or publicly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In some cases, the crime of insult constitutes an 'aggravated offense,' in which case the penalty is increased. Insulting a public official because of their duties is an example of this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
