Abstract

Lawgiver, for the purpose of penal supporting of national historical-cultural monuments, ratified repeated article 566 of Islamic penal code in 1388; which demonstrates three actions of “making fake cases”, “introducing, carrying or storing” and “buying of historical-cultural monuments” as crimes. This criminalizing was necessary and advantageous, but the procedure of criminalizing has some weakness which we will review them in present paper. For example, for the crime of buying fake monuments, just buying was indicated, but other means of acquiring them has not recognized.
