A new division will be established by the Court of Justice ( CoJ) to handle situations involving computer and engineering murder in particular.
The new department will increase the Criminal Court’s performance in handling such cases, according to a CoJ announcement made on the Royal Gazette site on Monday.
As part of that, the new computer and engineering crime section will also help law enforcement in immediate operations, according to the announcement.
Violence involving computer systems has become much more complicated and quick- growing, said the CoJ declaration, on why the new department is needed.
The information in these offences is typically in digital form, which calls for special skills, particularly when obtaining and gathering it for use in court proceedings, the statement said.
Additionally, the new division is anticipated to expedite the approval of court warrants in order to provide authorities charged with preventing cybercrime.
The new department will solve all legal cases involving laptop technology in a criminal, aside from those that primarily concern the Criminal Court’s Narcotics and Human Trafficking Divisions.
According to the speech, the new section is also in charge of handling petitions submitted to the Criminal Court for a judge get in a police investigation into an alleged violation of the personal information security law, the laptop crime law, and the cyber security protection law.
The technology crime division’s head will be chosen by a criminal justice judge.
This new division will employ additional judges with solid experience handling technology crime cases, according to the statement.
