The article focuses on the prosecution completion process, a crucial stage in the criminal procedure. In this sense, the completion of the criminal investigation is not a formality, but is the result of a preliminary analysis of the evidence, the legality of obtaining it and the respect of the rights of the parties involved in the process. This stage is fundamental because it decides whether there is enough evidence to send the case to court. The analysis of the subject brings into discussion the imperfections of the criminal procedural legislation, which, in some cases, does not fully meet the procedural requirements. Furthermore, an important aspect addressed in the article is the presentation of the materials of the criminal case to the parties involved in the process. It would be essential the rights of the parties to be always respected in accordance with Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights, ensuring their free and fair access to justice.
