Summary/Abstract: The new Criminal Procedure Code no longer provides a special procedure for solving the case in the situation of discovering a flagrant crime, just the obligation to draw up a report. Both the doctrine and the judicial practice raised the issue of the legal nature and, implicitly, of the probative value, of the report as it contains a multitude of information that could be useful for solving the case. However, the use of the incriminating explanations of the alleged perpetrator as evidence against them may create the premises for the violation of the right to remain silent and not to incriminate oneself.
