Placement the mode of conduct simulating a criminal act and Undercover Operation in the Operational activity.
2015Co-Authors: Šimkus KęstutisAbstract:Implementation of the opportunities offered by Operational activities in the fight against criminality and increasingly wider application of the results of these activities in the criminal proceedings brought about certain issues related to the usage of certain concepts in the Operational activity. The actors of Operational activity who resorted to the principle active Operation would be increasingly more often faced with a necessity to interfere with criminal processes in order to uncover criminals. The whole of such Operational activities, which would result in the detention of persons on the crime scene and with evidence, did not have any legally valid name. The Law on Operational Activities used a concept of a mode of conduct simulating a criminal act, which by misconception became popular and came into use to denote actions in any intelligence Operation. The term became popular in the media, households but the most problems resulted from incorrect perceptions of the concept in the law enforcement institutions, what brought about negative legal consequences. One of the consequences was the problem of wrong identification of the concept of the mode of conduct simulating a criminal act with the concept of an Undercover Operation. The article expands on the substance and legal nature of both concepts. The mode of conduct simulating a criminal act that is in fact actions with formal features of a criminal act should be differentiated from an Undercover Operation as a whole of Operational activity aimed at the detention of the criminal on the crime scene and with evidence. The article tries to reveal the substance of the mode of conduct simulating a criminal act and the substance of an Undercover Operation and their relationship in the Operational activities. That is done by the analysis of legal acts, taking real life examples and referring to the experience of the foreign states. The mode of conduct simulating a criminal act means only a right to undertake actions, which have formal features of a crime, but does not entail the liability, and helps to gain trust and successfully implement the methods of Operational activity. The trust is necessary to the Undercover agents infiltrated into criminal groups. The mode of conduct simulating a criminal act is used in all the cases where it is impossible or very difficult to gain trust. For example, by using the method of agents, when an Undercover employee is infiltrated into a criminal group in order to collect information on the activity of the group, which may be possible only after gaining trust, a mode of conduct simulating a criminal act is used (for instance, a gun or narcotic substances are carried illegally), but in such a case there is no Undercover Operation ongoing. In the cases when criminal activity is uncovered or criminal act is attempted and a criminal needs to be detained on the crime scene with evidence, an Undercover Operation is carried out. The article also gives an overview of the issues related to a provocation, a method used in active Operational actions.Operatyvinės veiklos galimybių įgyvendinimas kovoje su nusikalstamumu bei vis platesnis jos rezultatų panaudojimas baudžiamajame procese kelia tam tikrų operatyvinės veiklos sąvokų vartojimo problemų. Viena iš jų – nusikalstamos veikos imitacijos modelio ir slaptosios operacijos sutapatinimo problema. Šiame straipsnyje pateikiama šių sąvokų esmė bei teisinė prigimtis. Nusikalstamos veikos imitacijos modelis kaip veiksmai, formaliai turintys nusikalstamos veikos požymių, atskiriami nuo slaptosios operacijos kaip operatyvinių veiksmų, kuriais siekiama sulaikyti nusikaltėlį nusikaltimo vietoje su įkalčiais, visumos. Nagrinėjamas šių sąvokų santykis operatyvinėje veikloje. Atskirai apžvelgiama provokacijos, atliekant aktyviuosius operatyvinius veiksmus, problematika

Infiltração digital: a validade como meio de prova e os limites éticos do estado - investigador
2018Co-Authors: Mann, Diana CalazansAbstract:O principal objetivo dessa dissertação de mestrado consiste em aprofundar os conhecimentos sobre a infiltração digital como meio de recolha de provas nos delitos cibernéticos. Para tanto, será feita uma comparação entre o instituto já consagrado da infiltração policial e o novo instituto infiltração digital, surgido com a massificação do uso da internet e em resposta a criminalidade informática com o propósito de construir uma definição da infiltração digital. Para diferenciar os dois institutos, algumas palavras são ditas sobre as figuras assemelhadas à figura do agente infiltrado. Os princípios constitucionais e supraconstitucionais aplicáveis ao processo penal são analisados visando a edificação de limitações ao Estado- Investigação na utilização da infiltração digital. Por fim, é feita menção aos regimes jurídicos do Brasil e Portugal, no sentido de verificar se possuem densidade normativa suficiente para regular a utilização da infiltração digital como método oculto de investigação.The main objective of this master’s degree dissertation is intensify the knowledge about online Undercover Operation to collecting evidence against cybercrime. So, a comparison will be made between the established institute of Undercover Operation and the new digital one, which emerged with the mass usage of the internet and in response to cybercrime, in order to build a definition of “cyberUndercover Operation”. To differentiate the institutes, some words are about the resembling types to Undercover agent. The constitutional and supra-constitutional principles applicable to criminal proceedings are analyzed with a view to constructing limitations to the State in the use of on-line Undercover Operation. Finally, reference is made to the law of Brazil and Portugal, in an effort to verify if they have strength enough in criminal law to regulate online Undercover Operation as a hidden method of investigation

A admissibilidade da infiltração policial como meio de obtenção de provas no combate ao crime organizado
2016Co-Authors: Schavinski, Patricia SchneiderAbstract:O presente trabalho objetiva analisar a infiltração policial como um meio extraordinário de investigação e obtenção de provas, no intuito de desmantelar organizações criminosas e responsabilizar penalmente os seus integrantes. Este instituto foi introduzido pela Lei nº 12.850/2013, tendo em vista a necessidade de um tratamento próprio e diferenciado à criminalidade organizada, a qual se intensificou com o surgimento da globalização, e passou a causar danos sociais, políticos e culturais. De início, é feita uma apresentação acerca das organizações criminosas, considerando sua estrutura altamente complexa e a diversidade de crimes que elas praticam, sempre buscando o lucro. Depois, estuda-se o conceito de agente infiltrado, abordando os requisitos essenciais para que a infiltração policial seja autorizada pelo juiz, bem como seus aspectos procedimentais. Por fim, são feitas breves considerações a respeito das provas no processo penal, para então analisar os pressupostos de validade das provas obtidas através da infiltração policial. Serão vistos, também, os limites de atuação do agente infiltrado e o tratamento dado às provas obtidas pelo agente provocador.The present work aims to analyze the Undercover Operation as an extraordinary method of investigation and evidential obtaining, in order to dismantle criminal organizations and criminally hold its members accountable. This institute was introduced by the Law number 12.850/2013, due to the necessity of a proper and differentiated treatment to the organized crime, which intensified with the globalization’s emergence, and started to cause social, political and culture damages. At first, it is made a presentation about the criminal organizations, considering their highly complex structure and the diversity of crimes they practice, always in pursuit of profit. Then, the Undercover agent’s concept is studied, approaching the essential requirements for the judge to authorize the Undercover Operation, as well as the procedural aspects. Finally, short considerations are made about the evidences in the criminal procedure, in way to analyze the validity’s assumptions of the evidences obtained through the Undercover Operation. Still, it is examined the limits and the treatment given to the evidences obtained as a result of entrapment

La semilla del liberalismo. Política y literatura en torno a la actividad española del Congreso por la Libertad de la Cultura (1958-1969)
'Edicions de la Universitat de Barcelona', 2016Co-Authors: Amat JordiAbstract:La tesis doctoral La semilla del liberalismo. Política y literatura en torno a la actividad española del Congreso por la Libertad de la Cultura (1958-1969) pretende ser una aportación más, construida con las herramientas de la filología y usando como fuente primaria materiales autobiográficos en buena parte inéditos, para conocer cómo pudo refundarse una cultura política democrática en España a lo largo y contra la dictadura del General Franco. Sus protagonistas son escritores, académicos e intelectuales que, partiendo de adscripciones totalitarias (el falangismo más ortodoxo, el comunismo revolucionario), acabaron convergiendo en el territorio del nuevo liberalismo de postguerra que maduró ya en el contexto de la Guerra Fría (tal como lo define Tony Judt). Vencedores o vencidos de la Guerra Civil española, tanto en el interior como en el exilio, establecieron lazos personales entre ellos desde mediados de la década de los cincuenta, conviviendo en tribunas de la prensa del exilio (estudio los casos de Ibérica por la Libertad de Nueva York y Cuadernos del Congreso por la Libertad de la Cultura de París) y generando un discurso cultural y político compartido que era de matriz europeísta y cuya intensidad y desarrollo nos permite sostener la hipótesis que existió una red de intelectuales liberales y antifranquistas españoles que fue operativa gracias a distintas plataformas del Congreso por la Libertad de la Cultura (CLC). Dicha institución había sido ideada a finales de la década de los cuarenta por la Inteligencia norteamericana como una operación encubierta para contrarrestar la hegemonía soviética en el campo intelectual de la postguerra europea. Desde 1953 el CLC tenía a Julián Gorkin como uno de sus funcionarios cualificados –la reconsideración de la trayectoria intelectual de Gorkin desde 1939 hasta 1975 es una de las principales aportaciones que presentamos-, desde 1956 identificaron a Dionisio Ridruejo como su referente en el interior y a finales de 1957 Gorkin redactó el informe que activó el interés del comité ejecutivo del CLC por España. Este interés se manifestó primero invitando a intelectuales del interior a participar en foros internacionales –coloquios en Lourmarin y Copenhague- y desde 1960 en la institucionalización de dos plataformas con financiación propia dedicadas exclusivamente a la causa de la democracia en España: la comisión española del Comité d’Écrivains –cuya actividad se describe en la tesis a través de la documentación conservada en el archivo de su secretario Pablo Martí Zaro y algunos de sus miembros (en especial el poeta Marià Manent)- que acabó transformándose básicamente en una editorial más de ensayo ideológico a finales de los sesenta y el Centro de Estudios y Documentación de París, organismo presidido por Salvador de Madariaga y dirigido por Julián Gorkin que tuvo un papel logístico de primera magnitud en la organización del Contubernio de Múnich –momento de plenitud de la red liberal en la medida que asumió en parte la elaboración discursiva de la reunión-. La tesis desvela la logística que hizo posible la revista Mañana. Tribuna Democrática –dirigida desde Madrid, pero impresa y distribuida desde París- y estudia buena parte de una actividad cultural de la que hasta ahora no se tenía noticia suficiente en la medida que no se había dado a conocer –pensamos en los debates sobre la estética del realismo que se desarrollaron en 1963 en Madrid o los debates también inéditos que se produjeron a finales de 1964 durante una reunión clandestina entre intelectuales catalanes y castellanos–. A partir de la lectura de varias actas de reuniones de aquel comité antifranquista –como lo denominaba José Luis Cano en sus dietarios,-, la tesis, que concluye interrogándose sobre los fundamentos morales de la Transición política, detalla cómo esa red empezó a desfibrarse por causas diversas, pero en especial por el escándalo provocado por la revelación entre 1966 y 1967 del origen opaco del CLC.This dissertation, The Seeds of Liberalism. Politics and Culture concerning Spanish Activity in the Congress for Cultural Freedom (1958-1969) is built upon philological tools and uses as primary sources autobiographical materials (a lot of them unpublished before). Its goal is to explain how a democratic political culture was rebuilt in Spain throughout –and against- General Franco´s dictatorship. Its main characters are writers, scholars and intellectuals that, evolving from a totalitarian allegiance (the most orthodox forms of Falangism or revolutionary Communism), would gradually converge towards the new post-war Liberalism that flourished against the context of Cold War. Different characters, winners and losers in the Spanish Civil War, coming from Franco’s Spain as well as from the Diaspora, established personal ties from the mid 50´s onwards, and ended up sharing tribunes in the Diaspora press (The cases of New York´s Ibérica por la Libertad, and Paris´ Cuadernos del Congreso por la Libertad y la Cultura are studied here). By these means, they created a political and cultural discourse shared by all of them, based on an Europeist matrix, and whose strength and development allows us to argue that there was once a web of Spanish Liberal and anti-Franco intellectuals, operating through several platforms connected to the Congress for Cultural Freedom. This institution had been created by American Intelligence as an Undercover Operation aimed at counteracting Soviet cultural hegemony in post-War Europe. Since 1953, Julián Gorkin was one of its qualified officials, and since 1956, Dionisio Ridruejo was identified as his referent in Spain. By the end of 1957, Gorkin wrote the report that activated the Congress´ interest in Spain. This interest was made it clear in the invitations extended to some intellectuals living in Spain to participate in international forums, and from 1960 onwards, in the institutionalization of two platforms aimed solely at activating the cause of Spanish Democracy: the Spanish committee of the Comité d´Écrivains and the Center for Studies and Documentation in Paris. The Operation of the Spanish committee of the Comité d´Écrivains is described in this dissertation using the documents filed in the archives of its secretary, Pablo Martín Zaro, and in the archives of other members, especially the poet Marià Manent. The Center for Studies and Documentation in Paris was an institution presided by Salvador de Madariaga and directed by Julián Gorkin, who played a first-scale logistic role in the organization of the so-called Munich Conspiracy, one of the highlights of this web, since he assumed partially the doctrinal elaboration of the meeting. This dissertation concludes by showing how this web was dismantled due to several reasons, above all the scandal provoked by the disclosure, between 1966 and 1967, of the murky origins of the Congress for Cultural Freedom
