Questão jurídica principal
Whether the guardian was entitled to file a valid criminal complaint for embezzlement to the detriment of an incapacitated mother
Decisão extraída
Yes. A guardian appointed to manage the victim's financial and administrative affairs was authorized to file the complaint on her behalf.
Fundamentação extraída
Because the mother was permanently incapable of judgment and action, she could not decide on the complaint herself. The combined guardianship was a legal representation whose authority covered protection of the victim's material interests; in this situation the family-protection rationale of the complaint requirement had diminished weight.
