San Diego Embezzlement Lawyer
The intention to possess something that has been entrusted without return over a long period is also classified as embezzlement. It may not be limited to money alone but could encompass properties, valuables, jewelry, shares, and vehicles.
Since embezzlement is a crime, it is charged under the California Penal Code 503 regardless of offender or quantum involved in the crime. It must be noted that an embezzlement charge is effective even if the entrusted property was ‘borrowed’ temporarily and used for personal gain in some manner.
