Embezzlement
Embezzlement is the unlawful appropriation of a good that belongs to another and that one already has in one's possession. If you or someone close to you is suspected of embezzlement, it is important to call in an expert lawyer. The lawyers at our firm have a great deal of experience in handling criminal cases, including embezzlement cases. Please contact us for assistance and advice.
Embezzlement is punishable in art. 321 of the Penal Code. The legal text can be found below:
Article 321
A person who intentionally misappropriates any property belonging in whole or in part to another person and which he possesses otherwise than through misdemeanour shall be liable to a term of imprisonment not exceeding three years or a fifth-category fine for misappropriation.
Penalty for embezzlement
Many people wonder what punishment someone can expect for embezzlement, but that question can never be answered just like that. Punishment is tailor-made. In the case of a conviction, the judge looks at all kinds of factors, such as the circumstances under which the offence was committed, the person of the accused, the maximum sentence and judgments in similar cases. The lawyers at our firm can make a realistic assessment of a possible penalty, even if it is ultimately up to the court to make the decision.

Martin Carter Smehlik (carterthehero)No words can't describe how grateful I am for the services of Mr. Tom Gijsberts. Even though my case was quite specific and took over 2 years to resolve, Tom went beyond his means in order to address this dreadful process since the first second we have met until the very last moment. His attention to detail, amazing communication skills and overall extensive experience in his field are truly impressive. Tom is a true professional and I'm forever grateful for the support along with the sterling work he provided to me throughout the entire process even though I live far abroad now. Dear Tom & the team, thank you for everything!
