Publicity and adversarial proceedings are fundamental principles of criminal justice, being found at the normative level in art. 16 and respectively art.24 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Republic of Moldova. These guiding ideas of the process include the democratic, organizational and procedural element, ensuring maximum favorable conditions for the fair settlement of the criminal case, finding the broadest expression in the trial phase. The prosecution can achieve its objectives only insofar as it is without publicity, because if it were carried out in public it could make it difficult to find out the truth with the knowledge of the evidence by the parties involved and third parties, there is a risk of hiding or distortion evidence. The European Court of Human Rights notes that public access to information in a criminal case is not unlimited or discretionary, even once the case has been submitted to a court.
