description The issue of the use of knowingly false information by participants in criminal proceedings has been investigated. To achieve this purpose, general scientific and special methods of cognition have been used, in particular methods of system analysis, system structural, logical and legal. The practice of using knowingly false information by representatives of the defense and witnesses to obstruct the tasks of criminal proceedings has been analyzed. The legal regulation and practice of using knowingly false information by investigators and employees of operational units in order to fulfill the tasks of criminal proceedings have been described. According to the results of the study, it has been found that knowingly false information can be used by participants in criminal proceedings illegally and legally. Illegal use of knowingly false information in criminal proceedings should be understood as the official (with documentary coverage in the case file) provision of false information by a witness, expert, specialist, interpreter to an investigator, prosecutor, investigating judge, court, parties to the proceedings to the investigating judge, the court, and each other with the purpose of misleading other participants in the criminal process. Illegal use of knowingly false information in criminal proceedings is a criminal offence. The Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine and by-laws regulating the activities of law enforcement agencies indirectly provide for the use of false information by representatives of the prosecution (investigator, prosecutor, operational units) to perform the tasks of criminal proceedings. The need for this is due to the necessity to ensure the secrecy of investigative (search) actions provided for in Chapter 21 of the CPC of Ukraine. Such use is legal, but in practice it often borders on provocation to commit a crime.
