DIICOT respinge proiectul de dezincriminare a drogurilor: Ar putea permite traficanților să scape de dosare penale. Amenzi de la 500 de lei și nicio limită de cantitate „pentru consum propriu”

DIICOT opposes a legislative proposal to decriminalize drug possession for personal use, citing risks for trafficking and inadequate consumer treatment access. The initiative, introduced by Cristian Ghinea and Victoria Stoiciu, suggests replacing criminal charges with fines. However, DIICOT argues that the lack of a quantitative threshold for drug possession could lead to inconsistencies in enforcement and potential exploitation by traffickers. The proposal also raises concerns about the compatibility with international drug trafficking agreements and the principle of ne bis in idem, which could complicate legal proceedings. Furthermore, DIICOT challenges the claim that decriminalization would significantly reduce legal cases, emphasizing the need for a robust mechanism linking penalties to treatment programs.
