Part First: Confession

Article 211

1. The judicial confession is conclusive evidence against the confessor.

Article 212

A confession is indivisible against its maker unless it pertains to multiple facts and the existence of one of them does not necessarily imply the existence of the other facts.

Article 213

An admission is called qualified when it is limited to the fact declared by the other party but negates its legal consequences by the additional information contained therein. This admission establishes full proof with respect to the original fact, while the additional information is considered established unless proven otherwise.

Article 214

Article 1 is not present, the translation of the given text is as follows: A confession is considered compound when it is based at the same time on the original fact and on another fact. It is indivisible in one case, which is if the new fact is estimated with the existence of the original fact, such as when the debtor against whom a payment claim is filed admits that he borrowed the claimed amount, but in addition to his admission, he also claims that he paid it later. The court considers the act of borrowing as definitively established, while the payment is considered established until the contrary is proven.

Article 215

An admission cannot be retracted except for error in fact, provided that the person making the admission proves such error.

Article 216

1. It is up to the judge to assess the probative value of an extrajudicial confession based on the means used to prove this confession.

Article 217

It is permissible to extract a non-judicial confession from a recorded statement of the defendant on a magnetic tape. In the event the defendant denies the statement attributed to him, the judge may resort to a sound examination by an expert.
