Federal Embezzlement Cases in Houston, TX
Defend Yourself with a Houston Federal Criminal Defense Lawyer
The crime of embezzlement is the act of dishonestly withholding assets for the purpose of exerting unauthorized control over those assets. A simple example of embezzlement would be when a cashier at a retail location keeps money for products that should have been placed into the register. However, some cases of embezzlement will involve larger sums of money and more white-collar crime scenes.
