Article 315 Federal Criminal Code

It is understood that injuries and homicide are qualified when they are committed with premeditation, with advantage, with treachery or by betrayal.

There is premeditation: whenever the accused intentionally causes an injury, after having reflected on the crime he is going to commit.

It shall be presumed that premeditation exists when the injuries or the homicide are committed by flooding, fire, mines, bombs or explosives, explosive devices, improvised explosive devices, weapons, as well as by chemical substances that by themselves or combined are susceptible of being used as explosives; by means of poisons or any other substance harmful to health, venereal contagion, asphyxiation or narcotics or for remuneration given or promised; by torture, depraved motives or brutal ferocity, or when remotely piloted aircraft are used as a means for its execution.
