others in the commission of an offence, reveals information pertaining to the persons involved therein or
essential circumstances thereof, to the agency responsible for its prosecution.
§ 4. Upon a motion from the state prosecutor, the court may apply an extraordinary mitigation of
the penalty or even conditionally suspend the execution of the penalty with respect to a perpetrator, who,

prosecution, essential circumstances, not previously known to that agency, of an offence subject to a
