Faptele din dosarul „10 august” ar putea fi deja prescrise din data de 10 august 2026. Cum explică surse avizate parcursul speței

The legal proceedings regarding the violent events of August 10, 2018, may be subject to prescription by August 10, 2026, according to legal sources. The Constitutional Court's decision in May 2020 invalidated the presidential decree extending the prescription period during the COVID-19 pandemic. The prescription term for criminal liability is eight years, calculated from the most severe offense, which is abuse of office in this case. The Military Court of Appeal is expected to cease the criminal process against the accused due to the expiration of the prescription period. Former leaders of the Gendarmerie have been acquitted in the first instance for their actions during the protests, and appeals have been filed by both the military prosecutor and over a hundred victims.
