When the violation of these rules is done by the very persons who carry out tasks within the state authorities, this become seven more serious. Our study aims to contribute to knowing the categories of persons who are criminally responsible for non-fulfilment of certain obligations deriving from their professional qualities when they are aware of commission of offenses and to determining their contribution to the initiation of criminal proceedings. The study of the judicial practice in criminal matters, in connection with the guidance decisions of the High Court of Cassation and Justice, helps to determine the scope of criminal liability of the civil servant when it has the obligation to denounce certain criminal acts which come to his/her attention from the perspective of his/her work duties.
