Evidence, which is at the heart of criminal and procedural activities, as one of the most important elements includes the collection of evidence: its discovery or recovery, or acceptance and fixation (fixation). The significance of this element is determined by the fact that all subsequent operations with evidence - their verification, evaluation and use - are carried out only in relation to the evidence already collected.
The purpose of proof is to achieve truth, i.e. to establish all the factual circumstances of the event under investigation in exact accordance with reality. In criminal proceedings, this goal is achieved only as a result of proving. The means of its achievement are proofs - factual data on the circumstances relevant for the correct resolution of the case, obtained by the bodies and persons specified in the law in accordance with the procedure defined by the criminal law and procedure.
The collection of evidence is carried out, first of all, by identifying sources of information relevant to the case. This activity is carried out mainly in the form of investigative actions prescribed by law.
Thus, evidence in a criminal case is any relative, admissible and reliable information from the moment the criminal procedure act is adopted on the basis of which the court, procurator, investigator or person conducting the initial inquiry gives an answer to a legal question about the existence or absence of one or more circumstances that are relevant to the criminal case.
