Si alguien miente en un documento para ayudar a otra persona a salir de la cárcel, eso es un crimen llamado perjurio. Si el fiador quiere dejar de ser responsable por esa persona, puede entregarla a la policía.
Es como cuando prestas tu bicicleta a un amigo y él promete cuidarla, pero si no lo hace y decides recuperarla, puedes ir a buscarla y llevártela de vuelta.
Imagina que Juan firma como fiador para que su amigo Carlos salga de la cárcel. Si Juan miente en el documento sobre la situación de Carlos, podría enfrentarse a un juicio por perjurio. Si luego decide que no quiere seguir siendo responsable por Carlos, puede entregarlo a la policía.
El perjurio se castiga con penas conforme a la ley, que pueden incluir multas o prisión.
