In Romanian, the entire lexical family of words derived from the lating "crimen" has taken, in the modern language, the primary sense of having to do with the illegitimate killing of a human being - i.e. a murder.
Thus:
The Romanian adjective "criminal" means "murderous" in English.
The Romanian noun "criminal" means "murderer" in English.
