Also, in order to correlate the stipulations of the Code of Criminal Procedure
with the ones of the current Criminal Code, we propose, de lege ferenda, a modification of the criminal procedural stipulations regarding the persons that can refuse to testify as witness, by using the expression “family member of the suspect or of the defendant”. |
