Delito de fuga en primer grado

Explicación Simple

Escapar de la policía o de la cárcel de manera violenta o con un arma es un delito serio. Si alguien te ayuda y usas fuerza, eso se considera fuga en primer grado.

Es como intentar salir de casa sin que tus padres te dejen, y si además empujas a tu hermano para que te ayude, eso es mucho más grave.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan está en un centro de detención y planea escapar. Si su amigo Pedro lo ayuda y Juan empuja a un guardia para salir, eso sería considerado fuga en primer grado.

Penalidades

Fuga en primer grado es un delito mayor, categoría B, que conlleva penas de prisión.
