Forgery of documents. Article 327 of the Criminal Code. We learn the law

Sacred phrase that without the availability of a corresponding "piece of paper", any person automatically loses his status (becoming a "bug") is known, perhaps, to all. And to whom, as not to us with you, to be personally acquainted with the meaning of this saying. It is in Russia that documentation is so widely developed. There is probably no such network, probably in no other state. And the role of all papers in a person's life is really huge. His whole life literally depends on different kinds of documents. Birth certificate, insurance policy, passport, death certificate. On his life's path a citizen faces a huge number of extremely important papers. And since these things play such a significant role, it is quite logical to assume that fraud always takes place.

Article for forgery of documents is a separate part of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, which regulates all the nuances of this phenomenon, as well as penalties that can be applied to violators of the law. After all, fake papers may even have a state character. Not to mention smaller documents. Such forge much more often. This crime is connected first of all with the fact that sometimes a person in order to obtain the paper necessary for him goes to the falsification of the original. After all, the document can not always be in the hands of the owner honestly. Obstacles to this can be mass. But sometimes only one such paper sheet brings its owner millions, or even billions of conventional monetary units of income. Therefore, despite the high risk of criminal liability, and there is a forgery of documents. Article 327 of the Criminal Code gives a clear definition of the fact of this crime.

How many methods or classifications of falsification of documents exist ? In fact, there are a lot of them. We will try to identify a few of the most important. Suppose there is already a ready official form of a document. For example, a sick leave sheet. If a person independently makes any adjustments to the data that is already filled in, then in this case there is a forgery of documents. The article of the Code, devoted to this crime, confirms this. A lot of papers can also be listed here. For example, a driver's license with an extended period of validity, passes to the company. Under the criminal responsibility fall any erasures and corrections, including the most insignificant. Forgery of documents of the Criminal Code is regarded as a rather serious violation. Therefore, you always need to think again, but is it worth it? After all, the result can completely not justify the risk to which a person voluntarily exerts himself. In addition, his reputation and job position are at stake.

The second method can be attributed to the complete forgery of the official document, and not just any of its individual parts. In this case, the alleged criminal re-prints the paper he needs, but he can not get it because of any circumstances. Forgery of documents (article of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation in this case remains the same) here takes much more time and effort. In addition, this process is very laborious and sometimes requires a huge investment of funds. After all, you need to additionally make all the necessary stamps and seals, acquire a special grade of paper, if any, to recreate all signs of protection. In this case, forgery of documents (Article 327 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) of this scale is applied mainly when it comes to a truly significant benefit. For example, the production of a false diploma, which indicates the end of a prestigious university, a foreign passport or other similar papers. Here the punishment will be much more severe than in the previous case, if the guilt of the person is proved in court.
