At penalties, the United Berceni goalkeeper managed 2 saves, sending the Cup to Berceni.

National Insolvency Conference - The Incidence of Criminal Law in Insolvency

We are a young, competitive and fluctuating society.

Since college we are divided into three categories, defined and segregated - civil/commercial specialists and, in opposition, penal law specialists. The gap between the categories does not disappear with time, on the contrary, we fight even harder, each on his side, without raising our eyes.
Protected by the public interest idea, the penal law specialists sometimes forget about the real consequences of applying the penal institutions within the insolvency procedure. For us, the specialists in this field, remain the questions and decisional blocks:
Deactivating the insolvency procedure, which is mainly a live economic phenomenon, and waiting for the resolution of the criminal trial, can we repair the consequences later?

In order to answer all these questions, which invariably come to all of us, regardless of the side we take, we invite you to join us and find solutions for solving the difficult situations generated by the controversies of applying the law, together with prestigious specialists in insolvency, during November 3 and 4 of 2016, at the Romanian-American University (Bucharest, 1B Expozitiei Blvd., sector 1).
The event is organize by the National Institute for Training Insolvency Practitioners (I.N.P.P.I.), in partnership with the National Institute of Magistracy and the Romanian-American University.
