Forgery from the Point of View of Criminal Illicitness, Putative Deeds and Disregarding Fides Publica.

Forgery by its nature, always harms the trust that people are forced to have and need to grant one another in the relations among themselves or which they should show for the things usually considered as the expression and evidence of truth. While for the offenses committed by violation of trust, this is the rule applied intuitu personae, taking into account the personal condition of the person to whom trust is granted, in forgery crimes trust is given in rem, meaning to the thing per se perceived as being the expression of truth. Thus, we are not in front of a violation of trust given to certain people, but in front of the trust granted to the thing which is assumed legally the characteristic of expressing the truth, but truth which has been altered. This paper aims to be an interdisciplinary approach, starting from the criminological meaning rendered to public trust and up to its legal effects produced, set into criminal or extra-criminal content, an approach derived from applying the method of observation.
