Summary/Abstract: As part of the reasoning for the implementation of the opportunity principle, the institution of discontinuity of the prosecution has rapidly found applicability in the Romanian criminal law, mainly under the assumption of faster decongestion of the cases that represent a smaller danger and with reduced or non-existent consequences. Despite all of this, the original version has suffered ample modifications regarding the constitutional conformity and establishing more rigorous path. In addition to the legal enactment, the institution of discontinuity of the prosecution provides interesting aspects with regard to its applicability.
