Unlike the previous Criminal Procedure Code (1968), which briefly provided that the prosecutor must prepare a reasoned proposal of taking the measure of preventive detention of the defendant, the new Criminal Procedure Code regulates in a more detailed manner the proposal for preventive detention of the defendant in the course of criminal prosecution, by introducing the obligation of the prosecutor to indicate the legal grounds. In exchange, the new criminal processual law does no longer provide the prosecutor’s obligation to hear the defendant in the presence of the lawyer of his choice or appointed ex officio, before drawing up the proposal for preventive detention, as provided in the previous Criminal Procedure Code. Under such circumstances, the authors analyze the institution of proposal of preventive detention, by presenting some critical aspects and by proposing some improvements to the new regulation.
