Penal Code of Macau
The current Penal Code of Macau (Portuguese: Código Penal de Macau) was promulgated in 1995, by Decree-Law no. 58/95/M, after the creation of the High Court of Justice in 1993. Prior to 1995, the 1886 Penal Code of Portugal applied to Macau.
Like Hong Kong, criminal law in Macau is different from what is applied in China.
