El concepto de delito en el sistema penal rumano

Abstract

The current Romanian Criminal Code, approved by Law 286/2009, of July 17 and in force since February 1, 2014, has chosen to include a legal definition of crime in art. 15 of Chapter I of Title II. It is one of the most original and difficult to interpret elements of the Romanian Criminal Code that keeps Romanian criminal doctrine divided both in terms of the categories that comprise it and the scope or location of these. This paper highlights the interpretative problems that still arise from certain doctrinal categories that integrate the concept of crime of art. 15 of the CPRO, such as vinovăția or imputabilitatea and interpretive solutions are proposed –respectful of the letter of the Law– aimed at harmonizing the Romanian penal system with the theoretical constructions of the other EU Member States.

El vigente Código penal rumano, aprobado por la Ley 286/2009, de 17 de julio y en vigor desde el 1 de febrero de 2014, ha optado por incluir una definición legal de delito en el art. 15 del Capítulo I del Título II. Se trata de uno de los elementos más originales y difíciles de interpretar del Código penal rumano que mantiene dividida a la doctrina penal rumana tanto en lo que se refiere a las categorías que lo integran como al alcance o ubicación de estas.
