THE ASPECTS OF CRIMINAL CODE AND CRIMINALISTICS IN USING INFORMANTS AND UNDERCOVER INVESTIGATORS RELATED TO ORGANIZED CRIMES INVOLVING DRUG ABUSE

Abstract

According to the UNDOC UN Office on Drugs and Crime records, around 5%of the world's adult population, aged 15-65, are dependent on psychoactive substances. Drug abuse is a multiform problem of the modern society. As it represents an accessible source of huge amounts of money, criminals, and organized criminal groups in particular, while making use of addicted individuals and the global situation, get hold of the huge proceeds and social power too. To speak about the crimes involving drug abuse, without elaborating on organized crimes would be quite frivolous. If it was about the individual cases that involve production, resale and consumption of narcotic drugs, this would not be a significant social issue and the majority of the world's states would easily tackle it. Yet, the global situation is the opposite and 'Organized crime forces' derive the majority of their income from the production, smuggling and resale of drugs. Bearing in mind some particular characteristics of organized crime such as the rise of professionalism, specialization among deliquents, abuse of technical achievements, covert operations, aspirations to acquire political and economic power, internationalization, planned execution of activities, hierarchy and division of labour, corruption, intimidation, it is clear that material costs of prosecution authorities fighting against this type of crime are increasing at a dizzy rate. In this paper, therefore, we elaborate upon criminalistics and intelligence operations and 'live sources of information' and informants and uncercover police investigators acting from the aspect of criminal law and criminalistics in Bosnia and Herzegovina, especially bearing in mind their procedural law protection and limitations to enter the so-called criminal zone. Both entities act under particular circumstances and in the specific environment for police and judicial authorities who work on special tasks, so that their physical and procedural law protection is an important segment of their training
