Penal Code of Macau
The current Penal Code of Macau (Portuguese: Código Penal de Macau) was promulgated in 1995, by Decree-Law no. 58/95/M, after the creation of the High Court of Justice in 1993.[1] Prior to 1995, the 1886 Penal Code of Portugal applied to Macau.
Like Hong Kong, criminal law in Macau is different from what is applied in China.
