Can I be punished if I said something indirectly but in good faith?
There is an exception under this provision for making an accusation before a lawful authority in good faith. However, in this situation, you need to go to the right authority. For example, the municipality is not the legal authority in charge of investigating tax evasion – therefore this exception will not apply and you can be punished for defaming your neighbour.
