Abstract: The investigation of the crime scene plays an important role in discovering and sampling
the proofs. The crime scene is considered to be the most important place in a penal investigation, as
this is the place where the prints of the criminals a nd of the victims ar e to be found: visib le, hidden,
placed deliberately or by negligence or ignorance. The article under discussion will f ocus on the static
and dynamic stages carr ied on in the investigation of the crime scene and will ana lyze the modalities
and the operating systems used by the drugs traffickers. Such an investigation presumes that the penal
legal authorities should have been informed that a penal deed had been committed by petition or
denunciation, as provided by article 221 of the Penal Code, or to take its own self notice/ decision
when finding out - no matter how - that such an offence has taken place and conclude a written report.
Keywords: static stage, dynamic stage, modus operandi, drugs, Code of Penal Procedures
