Abstract: A recent political and juridical crisis in Romanian society has raised up a series of very important questions for both the scholars and the practitioners. The answers to these questions could affect the Rule of Law and throw the Romanian State back in time with at least 20 years. These questions are: could a Criminal or Criminal Procedure Code be amended by political interests? Could the Romanian Constitutional Court influence both the political and legislative decisions? Could a criminal investigation be started in case of legislative decisions if these decisions are proved to be taken for hidden goals, in order to ensure the ”whiten” corrupt politicians?
Keywords: emergency ordinance; criminal code; criminal procedure code; political implication; criminal investigation.
