O clarificare major\u0103 \u00een aceast\u0103 privin\u021b\u0103 a fost adus\u0103 recent prin <b>Decision no. 430\/2025<\/b>, delivered by the <b>High Court of Cassation and Justice<\/b>, <b>the Panel for the Resolution of Questions of Law,<\/b> which established, in a manner binding on the courts, the interpretation of the provisions of Article 10 of Law no. 241\/2005 on the prevention and combating of tax evasion.<\/p><p class=\"p2\"><b>Expert examination, not a mere technical-scientific finding<\/b><\/p><p class=\"p3 translation-block\">The High Court held that the <b>failure to prepare a specialist expert report<\/b> in tax evasion cases <b>results in the irregularity of the act by which the court is seized<\/b>, with the consequence of <b>the case being returned to the prosecutor\u2019s office<\/b>. Consequently, a <b>mere technical-scientific finding<\/b> carried out during the criminal investigation phase <b>is not sufficient<\/b> to meet the legal requirements.<\/p><p class=\"p1 translation-block\">This distinction is essential. A technical-scientific finding represents a preliminary means of evidence, usually carried out by tax authorities or other specialised bodies; however, it <b>cannot substitute the expert examination<\/b> ordered in accordance with criminal procedural rules, with due observance of the principles of adversarial proceedings and the right to defence.<\/p><p class=\"p2\"><b>Practical impact on criminal cases<\/b><\/p><p class=\"p4 translation-block\">The decision of the High Court of Cassation and Justice has a significant impact on judicial practice, particularly in the preliminary chamber phase. The absence of a specialist expert report may be invoked as an <b>irregularity of the indictment<\/b>, with direct effects on the validity of the referral of the case to the court.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">For persons investigated or brought to trial for tax evasion, this jurisprudential approach strengthens procedural safeguards and reaffirms the importance of complete, rigorous, and lawfully administered evidence.<\/p><p class=\"p2\"><b>Conclusion<\/b><\/p><p class=\"p3 translation-block\">By Decision no. 430\/2025, the High Court put an end to non-uniform and abusive practices and reaffirmed the central role of <b>specialist expert examination<\/b> in establishing the existence and extent of the damage in tax evasion cases. Compliance with this requirement is not a mere formality, but an essential condition for the legality of the criminal proceedings and for ensuring a fair trial.<\/p><p class=\"p3\"><em><b><p>\nAttorney Daniela Clinciu\n<\/p><\/b><\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00cen materia infrac\u021biunilor de evaziune fiscal\u0103, proba\u021biunea are un rol determinant, dat fiind caracterul eminamente tehnic al faptelor investigate.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":39337,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-39336","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-drept-penal"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/toporvarban.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39336","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/toporvarban.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/toporvarban.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/toporvarban.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/toporvarban.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39336"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/toporvarban.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39336\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":39345,"href":"https:\/\/toporvarban.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39336\/revisions\/39345"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/toporvarban.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39337"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/toporvarban.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39336"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/toporvarban.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39336"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/toporvarban.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39336"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
