Interrogation of an undercover officer

Summary/Abstract: Testimony is a means of proof, through which the facts perceived by the witness, relevant to the case, can be established /art. 92 of the Criminal Procedure Code/. The circumstances to be clarified determine the subject of the witness's questioning. The interrogation of an undercover officer is a relatively new method of evidence in the Bulgarian criminal process. When conducting it, a specific organization and activity should be carried out, which includes preliminary preparation and creation of conditions before the interrogation, as well as during its conduct. Although the undercover officer is a specific institution, his testimony during the interrogation should be perceived with the evidentiary weight of the other witnesses in the trial. The specificity remains not in his procedural capacity as a witness, but in the way in which he perceived and became a witness to given events, as well as in the way of organizing and conducting the interrogation itself.
