Nicknamed "the Just" (δίκαιος, ''díkaios''), he flourished at the beginning of Athens' Classical period and is remembered for his generalship in the Persian War. The ancient historian Herodotus cited him as "the best and most honourable man in Athens", and he received similarly reverent treatment in Plato's Socratic dialogues. Biography Aristides was a member of a family of moderate fortune; his father's name was Lysimachus. Early in life he became a follower of the statesman Cleisthenes. He probably first came to notice as ''strategos'' in command of his native tribe Antiochis at the Battle of Marathon of 490 BC.

Forgery
Forgery is a white-collar crime that generally consists of the false making or material alteration of a legal instrument with the specific mens rea, intent to wikt:defraud#English, defraud. Tampering with a certain legal instrument may be forbidden by law in some jurisdictions but such an offense is not related to forgery unless the tampered legal instrument was actually used in the course of the crime to defraud another person or entity. Copies, studio replicas, and reproductions are not considered forgeries, though they may later become forgeries through knowing and willful misrepresentations. Forging money or currency is more often called counterfeiting. But consumer goods may also be ''counterfeits'' if they are not manufactured or produced by the designated manufacturer or producer given on the label or flagged by the trademark symbol. When the object forged is a record or document it is often called a false document. This usage of "forgery" does not derive from Metalwo ...

Active Corruption
Active corruption consists of the act of offering (this offering can be done in various ways) an advantage, any kind of benefit, or satisfaction of will that may affect the morality of Public Administration. It is only characterized when the advantage is offered to a public official. If there is a request (passive corruption) or imposition (extortion) by the official for the offered advantage, the act of yielding to this request or pressure through payment does not constitute active corruption, since the penal code only includes the verb "offer". There is no negligent form for active corruption; it requires the intent of the individual to corrupt the public agent. ''Qualified form'' - due to the offering, the official actually delays or omits an official act, or performs an act in violation of their duty. Note that if there is effective action, but not an official act, the assigned type will be in the main provision and not in the qualified form. Active corruption, committed by ...

Corruption can be of two types: * Active, referring to the briber; or * Passive, referring to the corrupted public official. Some legislations define both behaviors as being the same crime. In the case of the crime of corruption, Brazilian legislation adopted, exceptionally, the pluralistic theory, as it chose to define two different crimes: active corruption, in Article 333 of the Penal Code, and passive corruption, in Article 317. Definition The Penal Code, in Article 317, defines the crime of passive corruption as "soliciting or receiving, for oneself or for others, directly or indirectly, even if outside the function or before assuming it, an undue advantage, or accepting a promise of such an advantage."
