Question juridique clé
Whether the defendant's conduct fulfilled aggravated embezzlement under Art. 138 CP
Solution extraite
Yes. The cash entrusted to the company was used contrary to the clients' instructions for a clandestine foreign-exchange transaction, which constituted unlawful use of entrusted assets for profit.
Motifs extraits
The whole transaction, not just the final handover, was an illicit use of entrusted assets. The money had been entrusted for investment and later restitution, not for speculative exchange; the accused knowingly deviated from the agreed purpose.
