What is Embezzlement?
For a crime to be considered embezzlement, the accused individual must have had permission to access property or funds and used it for their own advantage to take funds or property. For example, if you worked as a company’s chief financial officer and used your access to the company’s assets to steal them, this would likely be considered embezzlement.
