Disinformation in legal and criminalistic reality
Disinformation in legal and criminalistic reality

Summary/Abstract: This article aims to discuss the phenomenon of disinformation, in a legal and criminalistic reality, with particular emphasis on the goals, patterns and methods of using disinformation. The aim of this research is to deepen scientific knowledge about disinformation itself and its criminalistic context. The analysis of the available literature was used as the research method. The article initially describes what disinformation is, in order to move on to the key legal issues related to it. The article in the first part is strictly theoretical, while the second part describes specific criminal cases where disinformation elements can be found. The article is intended to be a comprehensive approach to the research topic, addressing various issues regarding disinformation in relation to the legal and criminalistic reality, along with providing relevant examples. Despite the negative connotations caused by disinformation, i.e. a deliberate attempt to falsify the message, it can sometimes be considered in the context of an operational tool that is to bring a positive effect and contribute to the solution of a specific case, e.g. by breaking the stagnation in the ongoing investigation.
