At its July 2 meeting, the Legislative Chamber passed in the first reading the bill on electronic and digital evidence, the Chamber’s press service said.
MPs noted the spike in digital crimes in cyberspace and the number of victims. Criminals are using new methods to steal money from people's bank accounts.
In particular, the theft of money from accounts and electronic wallets in apps Is made through illegal copying and counterfeiting of bank or other payment cards using software (carding).
Meanwhile, in law enforcement practice there are problems associated with the recognition of electronic (digital) data as evidence and their inclusion in the case materials, which creates difficulties in solving crimes, the MPs emphasized.
The Bill proposed amendments to some laws regarding the concept of electronic (digital) evidence, procedures for identifying, collecting, providing, verifying, evaluating, recording, storing electronic (digital) evidence, as well as the rights and obligations of participants in this process.
