Frequently asked questions
What rights do I have during a digital search?

You have the right to assistance from a lawyer, to be informed of the scope of the search, and to challenge measures ordered without basis. The way devices are seized and sealed can affect the validity of the evidence. Read the full guide on digital searches.

Am I required to give my phone password?

Not automatically. There are limits tied to the privilege against self-incrimination, and the specific way the password is obtained can be challenged. See what the law says about a phone password and PIN.

What does illegal access to a computer system mean?

Art. 360 of the Criminal Code punishes access without right to a computer system. Defining ‘computer system’ and ‘access without right’ is often the decisive point of the defence. See which cyber offences exist in Romania.

Can I recover money from a cryptocurrency fraud?

Recovery depends on the traceability of the funds and on precautionary measures taken early. We act on the criminal side and on the seizure of assets. Learn how cryptocurrency frauds work.
