Abstract

During the state of emergency, but also in the state of alert established due to the coronavirus pandemic, in Romania prosecutors have prepared special cases relating to the crime of thwarting the fight against disease, for false statements, abuse or negligence in office, disclosure of secret service or non-public information, for fraud, theft, failure to take legal measures for safety and health at work. This article is dedicated to one of the measures of criminal law that the Romanian state has proposed to adopt in the current context, namely the amendment and completion of Article 326 of the Romanian Criminal Code - False statements. The increase in punishment limits is justified, as the coronavirus pandemic has proved to be more severe than anticipated both for the life and health of the entire population and for the economy, generating numerous unprecedented restrictions. By committing this crime, the trust that must be inspired by the official documents drawn up on the basis of the statements made before the public authorities or institutions is infringed
