Summary/Abstract: The criminality among elected representatives is now a phenomenon with a wide spread and at the same time a real problem faced by the judicial authorities, both in terms of the complexity of the phenomenon and the social danger it represents, in relation to the negative consequences generated at the level society as a whole. Local elected representatives are criminally responsible for crimes committed in the performance of their service duties, crimes covering a wide range of domains, Romanian society as a whole, and public administration in particular, facing an alarming situation. The criminal activity of the elected officials seriously affects the good functioning of the public administration by jeopardizing the organizational stability of the public institutions and authorities by undermining the principles of good administration, equity and social justice, by generalizing the phenomenon of corruption and, last but not least, by the erosion citizens' trust in decision makers in the public administration sphere.
