From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Capital punishment in Moldova
was abolished in 2005.
Moldova
has not executed anyone since its independence. The death penalty was first abolished in 1995, but, until 2006, the Constitution retained it for crimes committed during war or during an inevitable threat of war.
