Uzurparea de calităţi oficiale
The offense of usurpation of official capacity

Summary/Abstract: In the present paper we have examined the offense of usurpation of official capacity, as provided by the new Romanian Criminal Law. Analysis-wise, we considered the examination of pre-existing components such as the constitutive elements, as well as the examination of legislative precedents and transitional situations. We have also proceeded to a comparative examination of the provisions contained in the two succeeding laws, highlighting the elements of similarity and difference, being useful for the process of sentencing. The novelty elements of this work consist in examining the offense in the light of the new law, as well as in the critical opinions and de lege ferenda proposals. The paper may be useful for students and master students of Law Schools throughout the country, as well as for practitioners in the field (judges, prosecutors, lawyers).
