Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the fraud convictions lacked the element of arglist because the invoices were insufficiently checked by the victim authorities.
Decisione estratta
The fraud was committed by deceitful schemes and a whole system of lies; arglist was present despite missing signatures or internal control flaws.
Motivazione estratta
The defendant created fictitious invoices from a non-existent company, forged or simulated approvals, and exploited a trust-based payment process. The victim was not required to exercise maximum care; only gross negligence would exclude protection.
