Taking into account the cases in which the law stipulates specific reasons for aggravation, the following shall be deemed as aggravating circumstances: 1. Committing the crime for a vile motive. 2. Committing the crime using the weak state of mind of the victim or his incapacity to resist, or being under circumstances which would not allow others to defend him. 3. Committing the crime using savage means or by mutilation of the victim. 4. Committing the crime by a public servant through exploiting the authority of his position or capacity, unless the law stipulates a specific penalty with respect of such capacity.
