The character of the safety measures is one of protection and they can be taken by the judge of the preliminary chamber, following the notification of the prosecutor through the classification order (according to 315 art. paragraph 2 letter C.) or by the court of first instance or of appeal, by decision. The cessation of the medical measure is supported by the decision of the delegated judge of the court, in whose jurisdiction the health facility is located, following a medicolegal psychiatric expertise. The exclusivity of the measure provided by Article 110 of the Criminal Code is given by the fact that it also imposes deprivations and restrictions of fundamental rights, thus conferring the character of a coercive measure in the subsidiary, since, mainly, the aim is to treat the perpetrator's psychological ailments in a preventive environment.
