What does this charge mean?
This statute concerns procedural rules for prosecuting embezzlement cases—it is not itself describing an illegal act. The law says that any charge involving someone taking someone else's property with the intent to use it for themselves and deny the owner access to it counts as a proper embezzlement or fraudulent breach of trust charge.
