Original research[edit]
This article lacks proper citations to independent, secondary sources, being completely reliant on French legal codes, a non-independent, primary source. Most of the citations should be to secondary sources. Fortunately, there is a pre-made library of Wikipedia citations to secondary sources in the area of French criminal law, and you can find it here. You can either just use it as a source from which you can copy-and-paste citations right into this article, and then source them using {{sfn}}, or you don't even have to copy them here, you can just transclude them using the instructions given at {{Reflib}}.

- I've created a new § Further reading section and included citations to twenty secondary sources. Some of these may contain information useful for sourcing this article. The following links may be helpful for finding online resources:

Putting this another way: the entire article consists of 100% original research by French Wikipedia editors who apparently wrote an article based on their own impressions and opinions about what the French criminal code (a primary source) means, as there are no sources other than that. Whether or not this is acceptable at French Wikipedia (spoiler: it isn't), it is entirely unacceptable at English Wikipedia, and the article is nowhere close to releasable in its current state, regardless of how accurate the translation is.
