The amendments to the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Republic of Moldova (Article V), the Law on the special investigation activity (Article X) and the Law on the counter-intelligence activity and external intelligence activity (Article XIII) regulate the manner in which the State authorities investigate electoral corruption and related offences. They accelerate procedures, expand the use of special investigative measures to electoral interference, and introduce tighter prosecutorial and internal authorisation safeguards to balance effectiveness with protection against abuse.
