Background: This article is prompted by the increasing levels of crime in the sphere of illicit
trafficking in narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances, their analogues, or precursors using
information and telecommunication systems. The aim of the article is a comprehensive
analysis of the problem of the use of electronic evidence in proving crimes of trafficking in these
substances.
Methods: A number of methods were used in this article, namely: theoretical analysis – the study
and analysis of official documentation, scientific, methodological, and educational literature,
summarising information to determine the theoretical and methodological foundations of
the study; logical analysis – to formulate basic concepts and classification; concrete-historical
analysis – to demonstrate the dynamics of development of the use of electronic evidence in
criminal proceedings; the dialectical method – to reveal the meaning of concepts of ‘electronic
evidence’. The judicial practice of the Supreme Court of Ukraine regarding the recognition of
electronic proof as appropriate evidence in cases is disclosed. The definition of electronic proof
in the Ukrainian legal system, as well as the forms and features of electronic proof, are also
considered.
Results and Conclusions: It is established that the main causes of drug trafficking crimes
include insufficient legal regulation of cyberspace, the lack of geographical boundaries,
the spread of information about drugs on the Internet, especially on the Darknet, and the
uncontrolled development of the cryptocurrency market.
