Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the responsibility of the local elected officials, from a criminal perspective, for the crimes committed in the exercise of their duties in the light of the legislative transformations in Romania and the Republic of Moldova. Currently, the criminal jurisprudence shows that the most common crimes committed by local elected officials are corruption offenses, service offenses, false offenses, offenses governed by labor law and public service but also offenses against the European Union’s financial interests.
