Summary/Abstract: This subject is a sensitive one, because the law enforcement bodies, knowing that the violation of the presumption of innocence does not succeed in procedural sanctions, often “allow” themselves to infringe this principle. However, the presumption of innocence is a guaranteed right, the violation of which can lead to compensation from the state, affecting the national economy. This article analyzed the national framework and international standards on the presumption of innocence, as well as tried to highlight some practical issues that lead to the harm of that right.
