The punishment provided for for the offense of committing a crime is imprisonment for a maximum of 2 years. In addition to imprisonment, a fine is not provided for. In other words, when this occurs, only a maximum sentence of 2 years in prison can be imposed.
Anyone who informs the competent authorities that, contrary to the truth, he has committed the crime or participated in the crime is given a prison sentence of up to two years. If this crime is committed in order to save the parent, child, spouse or brother from punishment; three-quarters of the punishment given can be reduced or completely removed.(Article 270/1 of the Turkish Penal Code)
