The changes related to the confiscation of motor vehicles created extraordinary chaos in law enforcement - they are vague and chaotic, contradict basic principles of criminal law and show ignorance of the legislator. We, the practitioners, cannot navigate in the Penal Code and apply it in practice.
This is what the lawyer Silvia Petkova commented to NOVA.
In her words, there are cases in which the prosecutor's office fails to prove an intentional crime and the court acquits him. At the same time, it can convict for negligence, since it is easier to prove.
„The changes in the Penal Code are nothing more than political populism. The legislator should go with a certain concept of criminal policy, and not respond to public opinion after certain cases, she said.
