Abstract – Law 50/1991 on the authorization of construction works, as
republished, outlines in Article 24 three criminal offenses, including the continuation of
construction work despite a stop order issued by the competent control authorities.
While the term “competent control body” is not explicitly defined, its scope can be
understood from Article 27 of the same act. This provision assigns responsibility to the
presidents of county councils, mayors, and control bodies within local and county public
administration authorities to ensure compliance with regulations on the authorization of
construction works within their administrative-territorial units. Depending on the
identified legal violations, these authorities are tasked with applying sanctions or
referring cases to judicial or criminal prosecution bodies, as appropriate.
Keywords – crime, construction works, competent control body, prosecutor.
