Abstract

Prikriveni istražitelji posebni su policijski službenici koji se uz pomoć izmijenjenog identiteta infiltriraju u kriminalne skupine te nastoje razotkriti počinitelje ili spriječiti počinjenje kaznenih djela. Budući da su jedna od posebnih dokaznih radnji pomoću njih se prikupljaju predmeti i dokazi za utvrđivanje činjenica u kaznenom postupku samo kada se izvidi ne mogu provesti na drugi način ili bi to bilo moguće samo uz nerazmjerne teškoće. Iznimno je važno pitanje dopuštenog opsega i sadržaja njihova djelovanja, no ono nije definirano našim zakonodavstvo iako je nužno potrebno. Upravo zbog toga često dolazi do poticanja od strane prikrivenog istražitelja što je jedno od glavnih problema prikazanih u ovome radu. Zbog poticanja dolazi i do povrede članka 6. Europske Konvencije za zaštitu ljudskih prava i temeljnih prava o čemu će također biti riječ te će uz to biti obrađeno i nekoliko predmeta iz sudske prakse. Za prikrivenog istražitelja vrlo je važno stvoriti dobar prikriveni identitet kako bi se što bolje infiltrirao, ali i kako bi se zaštitila njegova osobna sigurnost tijekom i nakon provođenja radnje. Budući da prikriveni istražitelj prilikom provođenja radnje ne može biti pod stalnim nadzorom postoji mogućnost da počini brojne zloporabe pa čak i pređe na stranu počinitelja. Upravo zbog svih navedenih specifičnosti te radnje, njeno provođenje može utjecati na psihičko zdravlje istražitelja.

Abstract (english)

Undercover agents are special police officers who work with a changed identity and infiltrate criminal groups where they try to expose the perpetrators or prevent commision of crimes. They are used to collect items and evidence for establishing facts in criminal proceedings only when investigations cannot be carried out in another way or it would be possible only with disproportionate difficulties. The question of the permitted scope and content of their activity is extremely important, but it is not defined by our legislation, although it is absolutely necessary. This is precisely why there is often incitement by the undercover agent, which is one of the main problems presented in this paper. Due to incitement, there is also a violation of Article 6 of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Rights, which will also be discussed, and several cases from court practice will also be dealt with. It is very important for an undercover agent to create a good undercover identity in order to infiltrate as well as possible, but also to protect his personal safety during and after the operation. Since an undercover agent cannot be under constant supervision when conducting an action, there is a possibility that he may commit numerous abuses and even go over to the side of the perpetrator. Precisely because of all the specificities of this action, its implementation can affect the psychological health of the investigator.
