Thus, it seeks to explain the main similarities and differences between the Brazilian Military Penal Code and the Codice Penale Militare di Pace. Based on the analysis of the concept of military crime from the perspective of Comparative Law and some criminal institutes, military crimes contained in Brazilian legislation and in Italian legislation are analyzed. Through this analysis, it is possible to reach the conclusion that there are major differences between the two countries, with regard to Military Criminal Law.
