CHAPTER XIX MAIN TRIAL
SUB – CHAPTER III CONDUCT OF THE MAIN TRIAL
Article 299
Criminal Offenses Committed at Main Trial
1. If the accused commits a criminal offense at the main trial, the provisions of Article 349 of the
present Code apply.
2. If a person other than the accused commits a criminal offense while the court is in session
at the main trial, the single trial judge or trial panel may, upon an oral charge by the state
prosecutor, recess the main trial and try the criminal offense committed right away or may
consider it after concluding the main trial.
3. Where there are grounds to suspect that a witness or an expert witness has given false
testimony at the main trial, such offense may not be tried immediately. In such case, the single
trial judge or presiding trial judge may order that a separate record be made of the testimony of
the witness or the expert witness and that the record be referred to the state prosecutor.
