Parliament enacted a bill in February 1993 amending the Criminal Procedure Act of 1973 making it obligatory for public prosecutors to level accusations in certain cases even if they had become statute-barred. The President of the Republic did not sign the bill but turned to the Constitutional Court for prior control of constitutionality. The Court turned down the bill by the same arguments that are set forth in decision no. 11 of March 5, 1992. The bill violates the principle of the rule of law, legality and legal certainty.
