CONSEQUENCES OF VIOLATING THE JURISDICTIONAL RULES OF THE CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION BODY

Abstract

This original research paper examines the impact of non-compliance with jurisdictional rules
during the criminal investigation phase in the Republic of Moldova. The study aims to highlight how such procedural violations affect the legality and efficiency of criminal investigations. By using doctrinal legal analysis and comparative perspectives on other European legal systems, the research identifies procedural risks, including the nullification of acts and the weakening of judicial integrity. The findings show that compliance with jurisdictional norms is indispensable for ensuring procedural justice and legal certainty. Recommendations are offered to improve legislative frameworks and institutional practices to reinforce adherence to legal competence.
