What is Embezzlement?

Embezzlement is a white-collar crime that involves the misappropriation or theft of funds entrusted to someone in a position of trust. It occurs when an individual with lawful access to another person or entity’s assets, such as money, property, or financial resources, intentionally converts them for personal gain without permission or authorization. Embezzlement can take various forms, including falsifying financial records, manipulating accounting systems, or diverting funds into personal accounts.

What are the Penalties for Embezzlement in Massachusetts?

Embezzlement charges in Massachusetts are taken very seriously, and the penalties upon conviction can be severe. The punishment for embezzlement depends on the value of the property or funds involved, with higher amounts typically resulting in more significant penalties. Penalties for embezzlement can include:

  • Incarceration: Embezzlement is a criminal offense, and a conviction may result in imprisonment. The length of the sentence will depend on the crime’s severity and the embezzled funds’ value. The court may impose various penalties, from months to years of incarceration.
  • Fines: The court may impose substantial fines as part of the sentence for embezzlement. The value of the misappropriated funds determines the fine amount, ranging from thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars.
  • Restitution: In addition to fines, individuals convicted of embezzlement may be required to pay restitution to the victims. Restitution aims to compensate the victim for the financial losses incurred due to the embezzlement.
  • Probation: Depending on the circumstances, the court may impose probation as an alternative to incarceration or as part of the sentence. Probation typically involves strict conditions, such as regular check-ins with a probation officer and limitations on travel and employment.
