Concerns expressed in relation to the draft law No. 566, titled “Introduction of Article 614-bis on the Criminal Code, on the protection of the inviolability of the home from arbitrary occupation, as well as provisions concerning the reinstatement of the owner or rightful holder in possession”. The law if adopted with proposed amendments would introduce a new offense in the Criminal Code, and provide for accelerated proceeding for the immediate forced eviction of persons without tenancy status of occupied property, including immediate arrest. Persons committing arbitrary occupation of property can be punished with a prison term between 2 and 7 years, Additionally, it foresees the disconnection of utilities within 15 days upon a simple complaint by the owner. Concern is expressed that this law if passed unchanged lead to the criminalization of persons in precarious situations, and reduce procedural guarantees to protect the occupants of a dwelling from being pushed into homelessness.
