Abstract: In the present paper, we analyze the crime of destruction - art. 253 of the Romanian Criminal Code, committed by participants in sports events. By criminalizing this act, the legislator wanted to ensure the protection of another's property, viewed from the perspective of his material condition. The participants in sports events, in our case the fans, support their favorite team or favorite athlete, but there are situations when some of them resort to actions of vandalizing stadiums, sports arenas, shops, bars, street furniture, parked cars, etc. There were cases when they used pyrotechnic materials prohibited by the current regulatory framework, threw various objects on the field, including broken seats from the stands, provoked acts of violence towards law enforcement, but also towards supporters of the opposing team, etc.
