The Public Prosecutor’s Office (MP) charged a woman with embezzlement because she, as an insolvency administrator, withdrew about 18,000 euros from insolvent bank accounts, the Porto Regional Prosecutor General’s Office (PGRP) said on Monday.
In a note published on its website, PGRP refers to the fact that the case is related to a process that took place in the Court of Justice of the Porto District.
The prosecutor’s office considered that on May 9, 2014, the defendant, in his official capacity as an arbitration manager, withdrew the amount of 18,150.79 euros from the account of an insolvent bank, transferring it without any reason to his personal accounts, including it in his estate.
In addition to convicting the defendant, the prosecutor’s office requires the application of an additional measure of punishment in the form of a ban on the exercise of functions, as well as convicting her of paying the state the amount she embezzled, since it represents an economic benefit for the economic activity that she developed.
“In addition, after conducting a property and financial investigation, the deputy established that the defendant received unjustified earnings in the amount of 263,658.84 euros between 2016 and 2021,” the same note says.
In this sense, the Public Prosecutor’s Office also requested the confiscation in favor of the State of this inappropriate property, after the preventive seizures were requested and determined to guarantee the payment of such amounts.
