依据 1990 年第 16 号法律，重罪的刑事诉讼时效是自实施犯罪之日起 10 年，轻 罪 5 年。刑事惩处，重罪时效 20 年（死刑 30 年），轻罪 10 年。但是对于洗 钱，则没有时效。不过，第 8 条规定，如果被告没有参加刑事诉讼审理程序， 将需发布另一道逮捕令，时效期计算暂停。
Pursuant to Law No. 16 of 1990, the period of limitations for criminal proceedings for felonies is 10 years from the date of commission of the offence, and 5 years for misdemeanours. For criminal penalties, the period of limitation is 20 years for felonies (30 years for death sentences) and 10 years for misdemeanours. With regard to money-laundering, however, there is no period of limitations. However, Article 8 stipulates suspension of the limitation period, if the defendant fails to attend the criminal proceedings, which requires another arrest warrant to be issued.
