The so called ‘congruence principle’ in criminal proceedings is now taken to be a criterion of legality, since it calls for a degree of identification between the indictment and the verdict, with the result that the accused can only be sentenced for the facts and alleged crimes that gave rise to the indictment. This principle was not established for the sole purpose of fulfilling this function, however: in its origins in Roman law, it also enabled the cives to practise strict control over the activity of the prosecutor, so that it acted as a mechanism of social control of judicial activity even before constituting a condition of legality.
