Abstract
The paper addresses questions primarily of a substantive criminal law nature regarding the actions of undercover agents (agents provocateurs). In this context, special attention is given to the issue of possible actions which the undercover investigators (agents) would be responsible for taking during their offi cial duty. Reference will also be made to the always topical issue of the incitement of others to commit criminal offences while they operate (as agent provocateurs). The paper tackles the possibility of undercover agents committing elements of criminal offences during their secret operations (especially during longer infi ltration) using so-called
legends.
