Abstract

Deputization refers to the investigator’s authorization of a party specified by the law to perform on his behalf one or more elementary investigation tasks, and thus is considered one of the investigation procedures that aim at finding and collecting evidence. But deputization is an exceptional system. As a rule, the investigator should perform all the investigation tasks himself as this lies, strictly speaking, within the scope of his field of work. However, he is allowed to make an exception of this rule. and to deputize another party, when necessary and for the interest of the investigation. Deputization is expected to facilitate the investigation tasks, making them more flexible and speeding up their procedures. Since deputization is an exception of standard rules, its use should not be expanded. The purpose of this restriction is to maintain the freedom of the individuals and to protect their privacy and the sanctity of their homes. This study examines this serious issue and investigates the conditions of accurate dcputization, both in form and content, and then explores the provisions related to deputization.
