Summary/Abstract: Based on the review of two relevant cases, the present paper approaches some aspects related to the facts of abuse committed by police workers during criminal investigations, focusing on abusive behaviour, abusive investigation and excessive use of force. In full accordance with the international normative, the national legal framework includes substantial provision with regard to the above mentioned issues. The legislation constitutes a major but indirect preventive instrument by sanctioning abusive practices after they occur and represents just one of the needed elements of a broader efficient preventive strategy. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to stress upon the importance of conceiving, implementing and permanently improving effective direct prevention measures, valuing the international best practices, the information gathered by the means of existing safeguard instruments, and the lessons learned by analyzing the general features and particularities of cases investigated by the law enforcement representatives.
