Understanding Embezzlement Charges
Embezzlement is unique in that it involves the misappropriation of funds or property that has been entrusted to someone. In other words, the person who commits the crime is someone who has been given access to the funds or property. This is why embezzlement is often committed by employees who have been given access to company funds or assets. It can also be committed by a trustee, a bank employee, or a public official.
Embezzlement involves the following elements:
- The defendant was entrusted with the funds or property
- The defendant took ownership of the funds or property
- The defendant did not have the owner's consent to take the funds or property
- The defendant intended to deprive the owner of the funds or property
Embezzlement is a crime of intent. This means that the prosecution must prove that the defendant intended to deprive the owner of the funds or property. If the defendant took the funds or property by mistake or without realizing it, he or she cannot be convicted of embezzlement. However, the defendant may still be charged with another crime, such as theft or larceny.
How to Fight Embezzlement Charges
If you have been charged with embezzlement, you need to take the situation very seriously. You may be required to serve time in prison, pay a large fine, and pay restitution to the victim. In addition, you will have a permanent criminal record that can make it difficult to find a job, secure housing, or obtain a loan.
