THE VIOLATION OF PRIVACY IN THE ROMANIAN CRIMINAL LAW. THE PRE-EXISTENT ELEMENTS AND THE CONSTITUTIVE CONTENT

In this paper we have examined the pre-existent elements and the constitutive content of the offense of privacy violation. As this indictment is an absolute novelty in the Romanian criminal law, in the introductory part we have emphasized its need and importance through the constitutional provisions and the European legal instruments. The novelty consists in the examination of this crime and highlighting the particular importance granted to privacy protection in Romania, in full compliance with the European legislation in this area. By the way it was designed and the depth of the examination, the paper can be useful to law students in the country, as well as practitioners and others who want to improve their knowledge in this field. The paper is part of a book called Criminal Law, The Special Part, to be published this year with the Universul Juridic Publishing House.
