韩剧《信号》中说的“追诉期限”是真的吗?

最近，普大周围的朋友安利了一部韩剧《信号》，这部电视剧并没有偶像光环或是知名影帝影后，为啥豆瓣评分达到9.2呢？

普大怀着好奇的心看了几集，就一发不可收拾了，因为这部电视中提到的案件基本是韩国历史上的悬案，所以真实性更强，更有代入感。

剧中第一个案件是关于诱拐的，破案发生在二十年后，所以这就引出了一个法律专业词：追诉期限。最后，凶手归案了，但是正义真的得到伸张了么？究竟追诉期限是什么情况，差点让冷血凶手逃脱法律的制裁？

【摘录自刑法】

第八十九条 追诉期限从犯罪之日起计算；犯罪行为有连续或者继续状态的，从犯罪行为终了之日起计算。

Article 89 The limitation period for prosecution shall be counted from the date of the crime; if the criminal act is of a continual or continuous nature, it shall be counted from the date the criminal act is terminated.

在追诉期限以内又犯罪的，前罪追诉的期限从犯后罪之日起计算。

If further crime is committed during a limitation period for prosecution, the limitation period for prosecution of the former crime shall be counted from the date the latter crime is committed.

那么，我国的刑法究竟是怎么样呢？是不是真的就让凶手逍遥法外了呢？

第八十七条 犯罪经过下列期限不再追诉：

Article 87 Crimes shall not be prosecuted if the following periods have elapsed:

（一）法定最高刑为不满五年有期徒刑的，经过五年；

（1） five years, when the maximum prescribed punishment is fixed-term imprisonment of less than five years;

（二）法定最高刑为五年以上不满十年有期徒刑的，经过十年；

（2） ten years, when the maximum prescribed punishment is fixed-term imprisonment of not less than five years but less than ten years;

（三）法定最高刑为十年以上有期徒刑的，经过十五年；

（3） fifteen years, when the maximum prescribed punishment is fixed-term imprisonment of not less than ten years; and

（四）法定最高刑为无期徒刑、死刑的，经过二十年。如果二十年以后认为必须追诉的，须报请最高人民检察院核准。

（4） twenty years, when the maximum prescribed punishment is life imprisonment or death. If after twenty years it is considered that a crime must be prosecuted, the matter must be submitted to the Supreme People’s Procuratorate for approval.

义愤填膺的小伙伴们，请答应我看完全文，好吗？

第八十八条 在人民检察院、公安机关、国家安全机关立案侦查或者在人民法院受理案件以后，逃避侦查或者审判的，不受追诉期限的限制。

Article 88 No limitation on the period for prosecution shall be imposed with respect to criminals who escape from investigation or trial after a People’s procuratorate or public security organ or state security organ places the case on file and conducts investigation, or a People’s court handles the case.

被害人在追诉期限内提出控告，人民法院、人民检察院、公安机关应当立案而不予立案的，不受追诉期限的限制。

No limitation on the period for prosecution shall be imposed if a victim puts forward accusation during a limitation period for prosecution, and a People’s court or People’s procuratorate or public security organ shall place the case on file but fails to do so.

看完这里，印证了那句台词：“只要不放弃，就可以做到。”普大也就放心了。
