Argument Regarding the Need to Incriminate Computer Data Input Forgery Committed by an Official

Summary/Abstract: As digital format becomes a necessity, public authorities need to adapt to this concept and the law must follow. Up until now, authorities kept different records in a written form and they conducted their activity exclusively in writing, as the written form provided both certainty of the existence of the act and of its content. The incrimination under art 325 falls short in offering adequate protection of public confidence in t he a uthenticity o f d igital d ocuments a nd t he v eracity of stipulations recorded in them, as it does not sanction the act of inputting false data committed by a public official acting within his right to input data.
