MANEJO DE LA CADENA DE CUSTODIA PARA LA CONSERVACION Y PRESENTACION DE PRUEBAS EN AUDIENCIA

Abstract

The chain of custody is framed in a set of steps and procedures that are governed by an established process, in order to protect, preserve and ensure each of the physical or digital evidence that were located, fixed and raised in a crime scene or crime scene, are transferred properly and kept with the same characteristics in which they were found, until they are presented at a hearing before the competent authority. However, the preservation of the evidence is not carried out in an adequate manner, since there is no infrastructure and equipment available to handle the evidence correctly, in addition to the fact that the document called chain of custody is not carried out digitally, This would allow a better preservation of the content and information about the evidence located at the scene and thus to have more information about the treatment and the officials who had access to the evidence, taking into account that the Organic Code Integral Penal establishes a sanction for the person or public servant who alters the evidence or elements of proof.
