Summary/Abstract: The institution of the termination of the criminal process during the criminal case trial had a difficult historical development. However, experts believe that the modern system of grounds for the termination of the criminal process is incomplete and contradictory. Termination of the criminal process is a decision of the judge who, finding the presence of one of the legal circumstances, stops the proceedings and releases the accused person from criminal responsibility, having different effects depending on the basis applied. The grounds for the termination of the criminal process are provided in the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Republic of Moldova, applicable both in the preliminary hearings and after the examination of the case on the merits. This often applied legal institution requires more detailed regulations to avoid unclear interpretations, providing time and resource saving benefits for both the accused and law enforcement.
