Summary/Abstract: In the digital era, criminal procedural institutions need to integrate technology to streamline criminal proceedings. Moldova is making efforts and working in this direction. It is noted that the Parliament of the Republic of Moldova has adopted new laws to streamline procedures in criminal proceedings, including the introduction of four categories of simplified procedures. In the event of the separation of the criminal case into summary procedure, co defendant witnesses, including investigating officers, may be called to testify without affecting the presumption of innocence principle. Additionally, witness or expert depositions can be obtained through remote audiovisual means, with their consent, if they are unable or unwilling to appear in person at the trial.
