Private security firms were finally banned from guarding state facilities

The Constitutional Court declared inadmissible a request to check the constitutionality of provisions of the law that prohibit private security firms from providing security for certain state facilities, reserving this right exclusively to state enterprises.

The reason for the proceedings was an unscheduled inspection conducted by the National Inspectorate of Public Security against Bercut Grup in September 2024. As a result of the inspection, the agency ordered the company to submit a number of administrative documents and terminate contracts for the protection of state facilities protected by law. In case of non-compliance, the company was threatened with suspension or revocation of its license.

Not agreeing with the order, Bercut Grup SRL appealed to the court. During the trial, the company’s lawyers challenged the constitutionality of the legal restrictions.

However, the Constitutional Court rejected the request, explaining that a similar issue had already been considered and resolved in June 2025. Since the company did not present any new arguments capable of changing the existing jurisprudence, the ban for private security structures to provide services to government agencies remains in force. The decision is final and cannot be appealed.

It is worth noting that, according to the current legislation, the ban on private security activities applies to all objects financed from the state budget. This list includes ministries, central and autonomous bodies of executive power, state institutions established by the Parliament and the Government, local administrations, courts and prosecutor’s offices, state enterprises, as well as the National Bank of Moldova.
