Principal (criminal law)
Under criminal law, a principal is any actor who is primarily responsible for a criminal offense.[1] Such an actor is distinguished from others who may also be subject to criminal liability as accomplices, accessories or conspirators. In both German[2] and Turkish penal codes, "principal" is one of the three types of perpetration prescribed by law.[3]
