Abstract

The expression used by the legislator in article 8 paragraph 1 of the Romanian Penal Code shows that the Romanian criminal law enforcement is exclusive and unconditional, so regardless of the category of acts which are committed on the Romanian territory, the criminal jurisdiction will be always exercised by the Romanian State through its competent bodies. From this point of view it appears that the Romanian legislator remained constant regarding the territoriality of Romanian criminal law. In the current regulation of art. 8, paragraph 3 of the Penal Code, the offense committed in Romania, is any offense committed on the territory defined in art. 8 paragraph 2 of the Penal code or a ship under the Romanian flag or an aircraft registered in Romania.
