The deliberate destruction of and/or damage to goods is punishable. The law distinguishes between immovable and movable goods, but also between public and private property. A specific form of vandalism is the application of graffiti, which is always punishable without permission. Thus, there can be no discussion about whether graffiti is by definition damaging and/or affecting a property. In addition, the legislator also has an eye for fauna and flora, by making the deliberate damage or destruction of trees and plants punishable, but also the poisoning of waterways. There are some aggravating circumstances for the destruction and damage, such as the use of violence or threats, resulting in injury or death, and a discriminatory or racist motive.
