compete, the general rule of qualifying crimes should be applied. According to this rule, it is 
necessary to always apply a standard that covers all the factual signs of the committed act. 
In such cases, forgery position is observed as a method of abuse of power or office 
representation, and in the words of T. B. Boshova, “the guilty person is only one side of criminal 
activity” [14]. For example, if writing a fake document is qualified as forgery, other actions of the 
guilty will not be given the necessary legal assessment. 
If the forgery is not directly defined as abuse of power or representation of a position, but 
acts as a means of abuse of power or representation of a position, it is appropriate to qualify such 
actions under the summary of Articles 205 and 209 of the Criminal Code. It will not be enough to 
qualify cases where an official conceals a deficiency that arose due to the abuse of his official 
position by confusing reporting and reporting documents as abuse of power or official position only 
under Article 205 of the Criminal Code. It is more correct if such actions are qualified as abuse of 
office representation and forgery position [15]. 
For example, an official (head and members of the internal control commission, inspector) 
does not promise to hide the robbery in advance, but knowingly (later, instead, for the purpose of 
obtaining funds from the perpetrator or based on his personal relationship with him) hides the crime 
detected during financial control. On the one hand, in such cases, the guilty does not perform the 
task of informing the chief who prepared the investigation or investigation about the detected 
violations, that is, he uses the powers of the position for the opposite purpose. On the other hand, it 
violates the obligations to determine, control and ensure the reliability of the inspection materials 
and the completeness of the conclusions stated in the inspection document, by means of document 
inspection of the robbery identified as the guilty, added false information into the verification 
document, i.e. job forgery occurs [16]. 
In this and many other cases, job falsification is expressed in one or more of the actions 
provided for by law, in the case of abuse of power or representation of a position, it can cover a 
wider range of undesirable actions that are against the law according to its practical form. 
Sometimes, in the practice of judicial investigation, the issue of forgery position is related to 
another type of abuse of power or forgery position - bribery. For example, an official gives a forged 
document instead of a bribe, that is, he takes a bribe using the forgery of his position, that is, he 
commits an act that is considered a crime. In such cases, the real summation of crimes is in effect, 
and it is necessary to give it a legal assessment when qualifying the crime [17]. This rule is 
mentioned in general at the same time. 
According to the law, bribery is a crime committed in the interests of malice. In this case, 
the official must use his official position or, instead of doing it with the interests of the person 
offering the bribe or not doing it, alone or through an intermediary, it is expressed in receiving 
culturally valuable things or receiving property benefits, knowing that it is illegal. 
In the order of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated May 
21, 2004, if the forgery position was committed with the participation of other persons who were 
not the subjects of the crime of officialdom, the actions of such participants, if they were not 
participants in the crime of robbery, it is explained that it should be qualified not by Article 228 of 
the Criminal Code, but by Articles 28, 209 of the Criminal Code [18]. 
Legal literature also distinguishes a separate group of official crimes - alternative - official 
crimes. The essence of these crimes is determined by this, they can be committed by officials as 
well as by non-officials (using their official position) [19]. From the point of view of the problem 
being analyzed, the structure of the crime of smuggling provided for in Article 246 of the Criminal 
Code can be an example of alternative-position crimes. The crime referred to in Article 246 is often 
committed by using documents whose forgery is already known or by adding false information into 
documents. In this case, knowing that it is a crime to make a forged document or to add false
