Abstract

The present work intends to reflect on the specifics of the chain of custody in digital evidence. Throughout the text, it will be discussed how the chain of custody of evidence included by Law 13.964, of 2019, although insufficient, can be used to guarantee the legitimacy of the use of evidence obtained through electronic devices. For this, forensic practices and recommendations related to the collection of non-analog evidence will be analyzed. Finally, the consequences of an incorrect observation of the custody will be defined, arguing for the need to recognize and declare the evidence as illicit and remove it from the records, including everything that resulted from it.
