Summary/Abstract: As it can be inferred from the title, in this study the author intends to make an analysis of the institution of „exclusion of evidence”, which exists in the Romanian Criminal Procedure Code of 1968, which is maintained and further detailed in the new Criminal Procedure Code, differently interpreted in the doctrine and less present in the case-law from Romania. The study begins with a general and comparative presentation of the „sanction” in question in the former and in the present regulation, also being analysed the modification brought by the Law implementing the new Criminal Procedure Code. Within this study there are presented and analyzed the conditions in which the sanction of exclusion of evidence operates, as regulated by the present Criminal Procedure Code. However, the analysis focuses on the doctrinal interpretation of these conditions, by emphasizing the existence of a trend to relate the sanction of exclusion of evidence to the conditions of the sanction of nullity. As far as the author is concerned, she pleads for the interpretation and practical application of the sanction of exclusion of evidence separately from the conditions of nullity, subject only to the breach of the principle of legality and loyalty in providing evidence. For this purpose, the author also makes some interesting de lege ferenda proposals.
