Hence, the chain of custody of the evidence is, among other procedural aspects, the guarantee that the principle of legality is complied with. For this reason, the theoretical and methodological considerations related to this topic are analyzed, where the undeniable importance of the institution studied is demonstrated, it should also be mentioned that we focus on a comparative study of the criminal procedural norms of Cuba, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador and Mexico, to analyze how the Chain of Custody of evidence is regulated in these Latin American legal bodies.
