Summary
According to today's prevailing view in German criminal law, some mistakes of law preclude intent, as, for example, the error of the tax evader about his tax liability. Christoph Wolf reviews this concept and counteracts it - also to the offender's advantage - with the proposition that only mistakes of fact can have the named effect.
