Report-complaint for Embezzlement: By When Should It Be Made?

Embezzlement is a crime that occurs when a person wrongfully takes possession of someone else's property, exploiting a position of trust. This crime is governed by Article 646 of the Italian Penal Code and can involve both movable and immovable property.

Deadlines for Reporting

When faced with a case of embezzlement, it is essential to act promptly. The deadline for filing a criminal complaint for embezzlement is three months from the moment one becomes aware of the unlawful act. This time limit is crucial to ensure that the competent authorities can initiate the necessary investigations.

"Acting promptly is essential to protect your rights and recover the wrongfully taken property."
