Ioan Paul Chiș, Reopening the Pre-trial Phase followed by the Judge Confirmation. Exception

Abstract: The New Criminal Procedure Code has introduced a judicial procedure for the confirmation of a reopening of the pre-trial phase, thereby eliminating the discretionary power of the prosecutor to resume the proceedings at his/her will, even in violation of rights guaranteed by the European Convention of Human Rights.

The necessity to confirm the reopening of the pre-trial phase has been required for reasons of precariousness of prosecutor’s solutions not to indict, since the decisions issued by the Prosecutor-General’s Department do not have res judicata powers.

This paper attempts to demonstrate that, if the hierarchy of the concerned prosecutor admits the complaint brought against the decision not indict, there will not be the case to decide on the reopening of the proceedings followed by the judge confirmation.

Key-words: reopening the pre-trial phase, res judicata, complaint, non-indict solutions
