Paragraph 28
 

Related offences are brought into line with this strengthened approach. Article 181³ of the Criminal Code, concerning the illegal financing of political parties, initiative groups, electoral competitors or referendum participants, is amended to mirror the heightened severity and expanded liability regime, including increased sanctions and aggravated circumstances linked to organised criminal groups or foreign and anti-constitutional sources of funding. Article 182, which criminalises the falsification of voting results, is also aligned with the revised framework by increasing penalties and introducing aggravated circumstances where such conduct is carried out in the interest of organised criminal structures.
