Řepíková, Kristýna ; Dvořák, Marek (advisor) ; Šelleng, Dalibor (referee)
The Use of an Agent and Issues of Police Provocation Abstract This work focuses on the use of an agent, one of the operative searching means contained in § 158e of the Criminal Procedure Code. This tool is widely used in the investigation of the most serious crimes, such as organized crime, drug trafficking, or terrorism. If the agent acts as a so- called undercover agent, which is a legally approved concept, it is ideal. The information obtained by the agent controller lawfully can be used as evidence in a specific criminal case. However, the agent controller can by his actions very easily enter the role of an agent provocateur. Police provocation has been described by the European Court of Human Rights and the Czech courts as an inadmissible technique. Its procedural effect in a concrete criminal case is the inapplicability of evidence obtained based on it, due to its absolute ineffectiveness. In this work, it is dealt with the concept of an agent and the related issues of police provocation as follows. The first chapter introduces the issue of the operative searching activity, which includes operative searching means and supporting operative searching means. This is necessary to understanding the concept of an agent. Similarly, the two remaining operative searching means, which are the pretended transfer...

Corruption
Chadimová, Tereza ; Jelínek, Jiří (advisor) ; Vokoun, Rudolf (referee)
Title Corruption. English Abstract The rigorous work deals with the evaluation of the level of criminal substantive law and criminal procedural law with the greatest emphasis on the national level. The primary goal of this work is to find out how it is currently possible to face the corruption and whether the Czech legislation provides useful tools to help fight against the corruption. As the necessary prerequisite for the fight against the corruption is the prevention of the corruption, the detection of corruption practices and the need to punish enough the corruption, this rigorous work divides instruments of the fight against the corruption into three groups, first group is preventive instruments, second group is instruments of detection and third group is instruments of sanctions. The rigorous work deals with all of these groups of instruments when attention is paid both in general and also specifically on Czech criminal law. In order to assess the effectiveness of all instruments, the first criterion is a sufficient scale, which means whether the Czech legislation can punish all types of corruption, the second criterion is the ability to search for, secure and make available sufficient evidence, and the third criterion is the stringency of punishments. The introductory part deals with the definition of...

Legality of Evidence in Criminal Proceedings in the Light of the European Convention on Human Rights
Nejedlý, Josef ; Hýbnerová, Stanislava (advisor) ; Hofmannová, Mahulena (referee) ; Hubálková, Eva (referee)
1 Abstract This PhD thesis focuses on the legality of evidence in criminal proceedings in the light of the European Convention on Human Rights ("the Convention"). At first sight it might seem that this field is only remotely connected with the Convention. In fact, none of the provisions of the Convention expressly regulates issues of evidence and the European Court of Human Rights ("the ECtHR") traditionally refuses to rule on the legality and the admissibility of evidence having regard to its subsidiary role and the doctrine of fourth instance. Yet the days when the question of the legality of evidence was exclusively a matter of domestic law are now long gone, as is evidenced by the relatively abundant jurisprudence of the ECtHR and the former European Commission of Human Rights (jointly "the Convention organs"). Moreover, Strasbourg case-law has been evolving dynamically in this area. It is thus one of the challenges currently facing both legal science and practice which stand before the difficult task to capture and influence these developments. The gathering of evidence in criminal proceedings often conflicts with the fundamental rights of individuals. Consequently, it is not surprising that the jurisprudence of the Convention organs dealing with issues of evidence has developed particularly in the...

The use of an agent within a criminal procedure
Dvořák, Marek ; Jelínek, Jiří (advisor) ; Vokoun, Rudolf (referee)
1 POUŽITÍ AGENTA V TRESTNÍM ŘÍZENÍ THE USE OF AN AGENT WITHIN A CRIMINAL PROCEDURE Mgr. Marek Dvořák Rigorózní práce (2019) ABSTRACT This work deals with one of the effective tools for fighting with an organized crime, which is the use of an agent in criminal proceedings according to the § 158e of the Criminal Procedure Code. The use of an agent is one of the operative searching means that are exhaustively defined by procedural law. It is a strongly offensive instrument with very complicated legal regulation, which sometimes (as practically the only one) makes possible to obtain objective evidence directly from the complex environment of conspiratorially organized criminal groups. At the same time, the use of an agent often collides with a high standard of basic human rights guaranteed by national law and by international law as well. Therefore, this issue also requires an examination of its international aspects including the case law of the European Court of Human Rights. This thesis is divided (without an introduction and conclusion) into four major chapters. In these chapters, there are discussed all relevant issues in its entirety, including less common or controversial issues. Within the individual parts, the author is expressing his opinions de lege ferenda that should be considered. All of these...
