Embezzlement New Haven, CT

Embezzlement is one of the most prevalent white-collar crimes. It involves the conversion of entrusted money or property for personal use by an employee who is in a position of trust or fiduciary role. Typically, embezzlers have easy access to funds or hold positions of authority such as bookkeepers, bank employees, or high-level executives. Even with the most sophisticated of schemes, embezzlers are almost always caught. Sometimes, however, law enforcement makes a mistake and innocent people’s lives and livelihoods are jeopardized by embezzlement charges.
