ABSTRACT. The scientific article focuses on one of such elements of forensic characterization as the person of the criminal during the investigation of offenses based on the facts of forged COVID-documents. The identity of the criminal was analyzed through a set of data on socio-demographic, psychophysical, psychological, biological and other features of the subject, his production, household, socio-legal characteristics.

It is noted that the person of the criminal is represented not only by medical personnel, managers of health care institutions, but also by citizens who work in hospitals in non-medical positions or are not related to the medical field, and act via the Internet independently or in collusion with doctors, nurses etc. It is emphasized that, in most cases, illegal actions are committed in complicity – by a group of persons with a prior conspiracy or an organized group.

It has been proven that the forensic investigation of the identity of the criminal in criminal proceedings related to the falsification of COVID-documentation allows establishing correlations between other elements of forensic characteristics (method, place, time, etc.) and should be taken into account for the detection and prevention of offenses. Emphasis is placed on the interaction of investigative and operational units with cybercrime fighting departments. All mentioned achievements are confirmed by statistical data and practical examples.

Keywords: pandemic, coronavirus, health care facilities, COVID certificates, identity of the criminal, forensic characteristics, forgery of documents.
