Describe several situations in which compulsion, consent, or other excuses take away criminal liability.

Absolute excuses are the causes that operate on a crime, eliminating its punishability, as a result of reasons not linked to either unlawfulness or guilt, but rather the reasons linked to utility or material justice.

Explanation:

Among some causes of exclusion from punishment are inviolabilities, which are based on the relevant role played by the body to which the person who has the prerogative of inviolability belongs, for example, the Head of State, deputies and Senators, the Constitutional Court magistrates and the Ombudsman.

Another cause of exclusion is the cover-up between relatives, those of their spouse or person to whom they are stably linked through an emotional relationship, their ascendants, descendants, brothers, by nature or by adoption.

Another cause is the exceptio veritatis, in which the defendant of the crime of slander will be exempt from any penalty proving the criminal act he has charged. The exceptio veritatis constitutes an objective cause of exclusion of the penalty that may take place during the course of the slander process and that finds its foundation in the interest of the State.
