THE USE OF EVIDENCE OBTAINED THROUGH SPECIAL INVESTIGATIVE ACTIONS

Summary/Abstract: Special investigative actions are measures necessary to assist prosecutors in effectively detecting serious and complex criminal offenses, not necessarily but most often in cases of organized crime, economic crime, and corruption. It is evident today that there are criminal offenses involving a large number of people in different locations, carried out with the help of new communication technologies, making it difficult to prove them using only traditional evidence methods (such as observation, documents, physical evidence, witnesses, etc.). Furthermore, it is often asserted, and this is supported by numerous cases, that criminals are often better organized than the state and that they incorporate various scientific and technological advancements into their criminal activities, outpacing state repressive bodies in the use of such advancements. To enable the proof of complex criminal offenses, the legislator has expanded the powers of prosecutors and investigative bodies, giving them more effective mechanisms for detecting the perpetrators of such crimes, which are reflected in the application of special investigative actions. Special investigative actions provide a specific contribution in terms of procedural and criminalistics significance, as their application allows for the securing of evidence for the further course of criminal proceedings in complex criminal cases, all while respecting procedural provisions and criminalistics rules.
