Forgery by Omission of Cash Register Entries

The court upheld a conviction for repeated document forgery under Article 251 of the Criminal Code against an individual who, as the operator of a restaurant, intentionally failed to record substantial cash receipts into the register as instructed, resulting in a financial misrepresentation of over 300,000 currency units. The court reasoned that the control strips generated by a cash register constitute documents with the character of an authentic record because, as integral components of commercial bookkeeping subject to mandatory accounting regulations, they possess the heightened credibility required to qualify as a written falsehood when intentionally omitting actual revenue entries.
