Summary/Abstract: Starting from the apparently contradictory position of the notary public as professional belonging to a liberal legal profession and the qualification that art. 10 from Law no. 656/2002[1] expressly sets out, the intention of this article is to present the arguments of both the supporters of the idea that the two positions are contradictory, as well as certain theories and elements of the laws in the matter that accept the coexistence of the two statutes. By developing and analysing the role and purpose of the professional secret, the relation between the law professional and the customer and their limitations under certain conditions, this material attempts to find the converging point of the two currents and to propose conclusions that would clarify certain controversial aspects regarding the role of the notary public in the prevention and fight against money laundering.
