When an employee uses fraudulent measures to take money from his or her employer, the action may be classified as embezzlement. If you are under investigation for embezzlement, or if you are already facing charges, contact a criminal defense lawyer at Rothman & Associates in Miami.
Understanding Embezzlement Charges
Embezzlement differs from other theft crimes in that a relationship of trust between the embezzler and the employer exists. Managers, financial advisors, accountants and other employees with access to company assets can be charged with embezzlement.
Examples of embezzlement include:
- Unauthorized use of a credit card
- Writing yourself a check from a company's bank account
- Transferring money to yourself
- Diverting checks
- Taking products of value from a company
- Manipulation of financial reports
