The Supreme Court dismissed the claim that the state must compensate for the loss of possession of forged documents. The applicant argued that continued possession of the falsified materials generated economic benefit, warranting restitution. The court ruled that mere possession of counterfeit items, without proof of actual financial gain or specific statutory basis for restitution, does not create a compensable economic loss against the state.
