CONT

L'action résultant d'une infraction se prescrit par cinq ans à compter de la commission de l'infraction. Qu'en est-il lorsqu'il s'agit d'une infraction répétitive qui s'étale sur une période de plusieurs années? Faut-il retenir le dernier fait infractionnel - ce qui permet de remonter à bien au-delà de cinq ans - ou bien calculer la prescription à compter de chaque fait infractionnel?
