Abstract

In the current paper we have examined the crime of trafficking in minors, given the recent changes and additions made by the legislator in the legal content of this crime with the adoption of the G.E.O. no. 18/2016. Within the examination we have identified elements of similarity and difference between the two measures (the previous law and the law in force at the moment), and the constitutive content, forms, penalties, complementary explanations, the previous legislation and the application of more favorable criminal law in this transitory situation. The innovations consist in the conducted examination with the new changes and additions to the text originally published in the new Criminal Code, presenting comparative elements and examining the constitutive contents and the variants of applying the more favorable criminal law in transitory situations. This paper continues the examination of the offenses provided in the new Romanian Criminal Code, publishing in the near future a new university course in this field. As it is organized, the paper may be useful to law students from Romania, practitioners in this field, as well as European citizens who wish to supplement their knowledge in this field.
