Criminal Law and Administrative Offence Law
Criminal Law and Administrative Offence Law are branches of Public Law responsible for protecting essential legal interests within society and safeguarding public order.
While Criminal Law addresses criminal offences and the imposition of criminal penalties, including imprisonment and criminal fines, Administrative Offence Law concerns violations of administrative, regulatory, or economic rules, which may result in fines and additional sanctions.
