A person commits an offence when they knowingly utter or convey a threat, regardless of the means used: in person, by telephone, by text message, by email or on social media.<\/p>\n
A threat of death or bodily harm is punishable by a maximum sentence of 5 years of imprisonment. Threats against property or an animal are punished less severely.<\/p>\n
Context is decisive: words spoken in anger or as a joke do not always constitute a threat within the meaning of the Criminal Code. Your lawyer will analyze the words used, the circumstances and the intent.<\/p>\n
Every case is different. Our lawyers analyze your situation and explain your options. In criminal matters, acting quickly often makes a difference.<\/p>\n
