In the present article we conclude that the criminal offence of illicit enrichment is inapplicable in the Republic of Moldova. We argue that the main cause of the mentioned inapplicability is of a constitutional nature, in concreto – art. 46 alin. (3) of the Constitution states the „presumption of legality of property” and imposes on the accusation body the duty to directly prove the illegal origin of property in criminal cases.
