Abstract

This study sought to clarify the provisions of Law No. 24-02 on the fight against forgery and the use of forgeries, particularly with regard to the crime of forgery of public or official documents.Numerous problems and difficulties raised,in the revoked penal code, particularly in the material aspect of the offense of forgery of public or authentic documents, due to their lack of clarity and precision. This law was a solution to these problems.
