When we talk about embezzlement by an employee, what comes to mind is the crime of “theft”. In fact theft and embezzlement are distinct crimes, as the latter is the common name for crimes of fruit and embezzlement.

In order to commit the crime of theft, there must necessarily be violence and/or serious threat to obtain someone else's movable property, which rarely occurs in the business environment.  Often the embezzlement practiced is subtle and can generate huge losses before they are even noticed. For this reason it is essential to consult the criminal lawyer to receive guidance on the best course of action.

The victim of this crime must be very cautious during the entire procedure, from the possible removal of the employee from the position, the preparation of the police report at the police station, until the initiation of the criminal process and the consequent follow-up.  In the criminal process, the lawyer can actively participate as an assistant to the prosecution, which gives rise to the possible restitution of the damages suffered, in case of conviction of the employee. Without a lawyer, the injured party will hardly participate actively in the process.
