CONFRUNTAREA - PROCEDEU PROBATORIU COMPLEMENTAR
CONFRONTATION - COMPLEMENTARY EVIDENTIARY PROCEDURE

Summary/Abstract: Confrontation is an essential tactical-forensic procedure in criminal proceedings, used to clarify contradictions that have arisen in previous statements of persons involved in the case. Although it is not expressly provided for as a means of evidence in the Code of Criminal Procedure, confrontation has a special evidentiary value, being frequently applied when other methods cannot eliminate inconsistencies. The success of this approach depends on rigorous preparation, knowledge of the psychology of the participants and the application of tactics adapted to their procedural position. The psychological impact, nonverbal behavior and reactions of the confronted persons can provide important clues regarding the veracity of the statements. Thus, confrontation significantly contributes to finding the truth, especially in sensitive cases such as road accidents, where perceptions and accounts can vary considerably.
