| (Ven.) Peculado Doloso Impropio Malfeasant Misappropriation as an Accessory (US: Second-Degree/E&W: by conspriracy)) Explanation: compare malversación e.g. de caudales públicos Sandro T.: 'What sets peculado doloso propio from peculado doloso impropio is that the latter has an element of contribuir, i.e., someone who has acted in concert, an accessory.' non-, mal- & misfeasance might be the way to go to get across the 'mens rea' element of doloso: nonfeasance: an omission; sitting back and doing nothing *malfeasance: the doing of a wrongful or unlawful act* misfeasance: the doing of a legal act in an improper or injurious way (Barron's US Law Dictionary). In the UK, misfeasance proceedings can also be brought by a liquidator against misbehaving company officers and directors. Misfeasance also implied in public office including of a company where no *public funds* are up for grabs, whereas the US-Am. usage may be different. Peculado Doloso Propio (Continuado) : (continuing) malfeasant misappropriation - of public, the employer's or company funds - as a (US: first-degree) principal Example sentence(s):

2 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1embezzlement against the state Explanation: As far as I can see (which is not very far) the difference seems to be whethe the crime is committed by a public official or by anyone else So to distinguish: Embezzlement against the state by a public official/employee embezzlement against the state En la doctrina Carrara, distingue entre peculado propio e impropio, define al primero diciendo que “es la apropiación de cosa pública cometida por una persona investida de un oficio público, a la cual en razón de él le había sido entregada la cosa apropiada, con la obligación de conservarla y restituirla” mientras que el segundo o sea al peculadoimpropio, indica que es un delito contra la propiedad, como por ejemplo el hurto decosa pública, cometido por persona extraña a su administración. Peculado Propio e Impropio. Peculado Propio. es la apropiación de cosa pública cometida por una persona investida de un oficio público, a la cual en razón de él le había sido entregada la cosa apropiada, con la obligación de conservarla y restituirla.
