Investigation of criminal cases is a complex multi-stage structure with various procedural participants. In this article, we will focus on two issues that are, in our opinion, the most relevant: the timing of the preliminary inquiry and the safety of the evidence obtained. The criminal procedural legislation only fragmentarily provides for the use of high technologies, especially at the stage of preliminary inquiry. Often a criminal case includes thousands of pages of text, printed and kept in the office of the investigator. Making copies from paper is time consuming. Hand-printed and signed texts of protocols, specifications and other documents may be falsified or destroyed. The introduction of blockchain technology into the preliminary inquiry stage can resolve these important aspects.
