The crime of embezzlement typically involves a person alleged to have committed a theft of money or assets from an entity to which they owed some responsibility or duty of care – for example, an employer. Embezzlement can result in a jail sentence, or a probationary sentence, a probationary sentence preceded by a jail sentence, or even a prison sentence depending upon the particular facts and circumstances of the case including the amount involved and the existence of any prior criminal history. Every conviction will involve the payment of restitution.
