If the felony has resulted in the execution of a death sentence or the<br />

serving of a custodial sentence for more than five years, imprisonment<br />

for a term not exceeding 21 years may be imposed. (Cf §§ 275 and 276)<br />

§ 120;<br />

If a public servant in any record pertaining to his office makes a false<br />

entry or conceals the truth, or if he in preparing any official copy,<br />

telegram or telephone message or in stamping, marking or any other<br />

official attestation which is issued to serve as evidence makes or attests<br />

any false statement or conceals the truth, he shall be liable to loss<br />

of office or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding three years, but<br />

not exceeding six years if he has acted for the purpose of obtaining<br />

for himself or another an unlawful gain or injuring any person.<br />

(Cf §§ 116, 117, 123, 124, 275 and 276 ib)<br />

§ 275;<br />

Any person who, for the purpose of obtaining for himself or another an<br />

unlawful gain or inflicting damage, neglects another person's affairs<br />

which he manages or supervises or act against the other person's interests<br />

shall be guilty of breach of trust.<br />

The penalty for breach of trust is imprisonment for a term not exceeding<br />

three years. Fines may be imposed in addition to a sentence of imprison-<br />

ment. An accomplice shall be liable to the same penalty. Under<br />

especially extenuating circumstances fines alone may be imposed.<br />

A penalty pursuant to this section shall not be applicable to an act<br />

that comes under section 255, cf section 256.<br />

§ 276;<br />

The penalty for gross breach of trust is imprisonment for a term not<br />

exceeding six years. Fines may be imposed in addition to a sentence<br />

of imprisonment. An accomplice shall be liable to the same penalty.<br />

In deciding whether a breach of trust is gross, special regard shall be<br />

paid to whether the act has caused considerable economic damage,<br />

whether it has been committed by a public official or any other person<br />

by a breach of the special confidence placed in him as a consequence<br />

of his position or activity, whether the offender has kept false accounts<br />

or books or has destroyed, damaged, or concealed accounts, books or<br />

other documents, or whether he has knowingly caused material loss<br />

or danger to another person's life or health.<br />
