The author analyzes the regulation and practice of using the results of investigative activities as evidence in criminal proceedings. The author also notes conflicting views of scholars and practitioners on the problem. Certain attention is drawn to the fact that without the use of the results of investigative activities in many cases it is impossible to determine the full range of circumstances which are subject to proof, as well as all the participants in the offense. The article studies judicial practice and identifies some of its disadvantages as well as advantages in proving in criminal cases with the use of operational materials. It is proposed to solve the problem by introducing amendments to the content of the article 89 of the Criminal procedural Code of the Russian Federation.
