Criminal Proceedings Concerning Document Forgery in Commercial Activities

подделка документов

Problem

A client — the director of a company — approached us after being suspected of forging accounting and commercial documents in order to conclude contracts with counterparties.

Law enforcement authorities claimed that the documents contained false information and that the client’s actions were aimed at obtaining unlawful financial gain.

Solution

Our lawyer carefully reviewed all documents and verified the company’s actual business transactions. It was established that:

  • the documents were prepared in accordance with the company’s internal regulations;
  • there was no intent to commit fraud or falsify information;
  • all transactions were confirmed through bank statements and delivery/acceptance reports.

To further confirm the authenticity of the documents, a perito calígrafo (handwriting and signature expert) was involved, which helped refute the allegations made by the prosecution.

The lawyer also filed motions to summon witnesses and presented all collected evidence to the court.

Expected Outcome and Further Actions

The case is currently still under consideration by the court. However, the evidence already gathered and the defense strategy — including the expert report — significantly strengthen the client’s position and allow us to expect a fair decision.

Conclusion

This case demonstrates that a detailed analysis of documents, as well as the involvement of experts and witnesses, is crucial for protecting company executives from criminal accusations in the business sphere.
