Infracţiunea de omor calificat în Noul Cod penal
The offense of first-degree murder in the new Penal Code

Summary/Abstract: The current Penal Code provides for two items in which there are combined variants of aggravated murder: art. 175 (qualified murder) and art. 176 (manslaughter). The new Criminal Code the legislator has chosen to reunite in a single article, art. 189 of the new Criminal Code (first-degree murder), some of the elements of the offenses above mentioned. Of the sixteen hypotheses that the current Criminal Code contains(nine for first-degree murder and seven qualified as manslaughter) exactly half were kept in the new Criminal Code as first-degree murder. Although it seems a radical operation geared exclusively toward less severe punishment of murder variants, giving up the eight items was based on various reasons which will be mentioned in this article summary.
