Embezzlement is a common “white collar” crime. In other words, it is a non-violent financial offense. Embezzlement occurs when someone takes money from a corporate or private account without permission. Those accused of embezzlement face many potential legal consequences if convicted; thus, it is important to contact an attorney if you are charged with embezzlement or another financial crime.

Types of Embezzlement

Sometimes, embezzlement involves tens of thousands, or even millions, of dollars. These cases usually involve large corporations. Other times, embezzlement consists of only very small amounts, possibly spread out over a long period of time. Some common targets of embezzlement include:

  • Spouse’s accounts
  • Parents’ accounts
  • Corporate accounts
  • Cash tills

The nature of the embezzlement accusation helps determine the legal consequences. If convicted, you may face fines as well as jail time.
