The crime of embezzlement represents one of the most serious violations in the field of criminal law, as it involves the theft or misappropriation of public money or assets by a public official. This type of conduct is particularly insidious, as it undermines citizens' trust in public institutions.
Embezzlement occurs when a public official or a public service appointee appropriates movable assets belonging to the public administration or for which they have availability due to their office. The legislator's objective is to protect the assets of the public administration, as well as the integrity and correctness in the exercise of public functions.
"Embezzlement strikes at the heart of trust in public institutions."
The Italian Penal Code provides severe penalties for those guilty of embezzlement, with imprisonment varying based on the severity of the offense committed. Additionally, accessory sanctions such as disqualification from public office may be applied.
