Use of Undercover Investigators or Investigators With a Real Identity and Collaborators

Summary/Abstract: In this article, the author analyzed some important aspects and regulations brought by the new Criminal Procedure Code related to the use of undercover or real identity investigators and collaborators. Since one of the most important aspects of this subject is the motivation behind the desire of a person who aspires to collaborate with other law enforcement persons in order to collect the necessary evidence for the case, the nature of the undercover investigators, their past and how they are recruited are some of the aspects that will always be taken into account.Also, there are mentioned the conditions that a person must cumulatively meet in order to become an undercover investigator, as well as the procedure that is followed for disposing the measure.The conclusion was that no abuse is wanted in order to use this measure, this being necessary only in cases where evidence cannot be obtained in any other way, and while the principle of proportionality is respected, there is no reason to think about an excessive or abusive use of it.
