Misappropriation of goods

The misappropriation of goods is one of the most recurring problems in companies with stock.

The diversion of goods is not a simple theft.

It enters the category of fraud since the person or persons responsible for this offence are intended to divert the company’s assets to generate personal profits. The thief or thieves therefore incur dismissal and a criminal penalty.

The interest in proving a diversion of goods is to know where in the “chain” the problem is. This therefore allows you to update the security levels, to call on a new service provider, to dismiss a malicious employee.

The diversion of goods occurs most often in goods storage companies such as:

Import-export logistics platforms.
Storage company.
When transporting goods.

The priority for the leader is to dismantle the network of crooks. To do so, it is necessary to obtain lawful evidence to trigger so-called “flagrant”police operations”.

All of the Agencies and Private Detectives of the Prometheus Group specializes in the search for evidence in the case of misappropriation of goods. Our investigations are admissible before the competent courts.

What does the law say ?

For the employee who diverts goods, this is an abuse of trust according to Article 314-1 of the Penal Code.

In addition, for this criminal offence to be constituted, three cumulative elements are necessary:

Diversion (material element),
Fraudulent intent (intentional)
Prejudice

In addition, once a network linked to the diversion of goods is dismantled, other offences may be added.

Article 313-1 of the Penal Code makes it possible to condemn the scam and Article 321-1 of the Penal Code punishes the receipt of theft.
