Summary/Abstract: In the context of European aspirations, the Republic of Moldova is taking important steps to rally to international standards on criminal justice. The national legislature has transposed some mechanisms to simplify criminal justice, which actively contributes to ensuring a fair trial by ensuring an adequate and optimal timeframe for solving minor illegal acts. In this order of ideas, the contravention law of the Republic of Moldova was completed with revolutionary procedures for solving a contravention deed, namely the simplified procedure for finding and examining a contravention and the collaboration agreement. These instruments have been set up for a series of offenses which have a minimal social danger and for which it is not necessary to provide evidence as the personal findings of the ascertaining agent are sufficient or for situations in which the offenders admit guilt and work with the authorities to resolve cases, for a lighter sanction. These mechanisms have several advantages, both for offenders and for public authorities.
