| Abstract: | The basic ingredients of the crime, known in modern Italian doctrine and positive law as 'truffa', (the corresponding crime in criminal code of Malta is envisaged at section 323, and in the marginal notes of the said code in styled false pretences) were not unknown to the Romans. Yet they never deemed it expedient to reat of this crime as a separate institute of law deserving autonomous recognition, or even, for that matter, to give it a technical legal appellation. At different stages of the historical evolution of Roman law, this crime received implicit recognition only as an incidental aspect or as a separate 'modus committendi' of other crimes, i.e. furtum and falsum. |
