STOICA & ASOCIAȚII - another victory for a large group of companies in Brașov

The team of lawyers from STOICA & ASOCIAȚII, consisting of Valeriu Stoica (Founding Partner), Victor Dobozi (Senior Partner) and Mihai Trandafir (Managing Associate), recently achieved an important victory for its client, a partner in a group of companies in Brașov, in a criminal trial involving over 80 defendants.

After a criminal trial lasting over 10 years, characterized - during the criminal investigation by multiple violations of the procedural rights of the accused by the Prosecutor's Office attached to the Brașov Court of Appeal, in which several tax evasion offences were artificially detained and investigated, the lawyers of STOICA & ASOCIAȚII carried out extensive procedural and substantive defenses in the cassation appeal stage.

Essentially, the illegality of the appeal decision, which had imposed a 6-year prison sentence on two of the associates, was successfully invoked. Following the admission of the cassation appeals for the client, a final acquittal was ordered.

The decision handed down by the High Court of Cassation and Justice represents both an end to the judicial abuses carried out over the last 10 years against the persons under investigation and a reaffirmation of the principles applicable to criminal proceedings, legality, loyalty, and impartiality, principles from which no one can derogate, not even the criminal investigation authorities.
