The crime of squandering of seizures
The legal basis for the lawsuit: Article 342 of the Penal Code stipulates that: A judgment of previous penalties shall be imposed on the appointed owner as a guard over his belongings who have been seized by judicial or administrative authority if he pecks something of them.
The lawsuit documents: A copy of the minutes of the executive seizure: a copy of the minutes in which the report proves the absence of the attached movables.
Competent court: the misdemeanor court in which the crime has occurred or the district in which the accused resides.
The crime of dispersal of seizures: It is intentionally obstructing the procedures of judicial or administrative seizure by misappropriating the confiscated money, with the knowledge of other than the custodian (Article 323) or wasting it or detaining him from execution with the knowledge of the same guard (Article 342) even if either of them is the owner.
Conditions for establishing the crime:
1- The place of the crime: the presence of things seized - for money it is required that it be movable money of a material nature, and if it is not required that it be owned by others, and as for seizing the money, this seizure is equal to that it be judicial or administrative. Under the hands of the public authority and has acquired inviolability, it is not permissible to violate it until it is removed from the authority that issued the order or waived by the one who signed it for his benefit.
2- The material element: embezzlement - embezzlement does not mean here the meaning that we have known in breach of trust, and especially for the owner who is a guardian of his things as he does not imagine in his right to change possession from deficient to complete, but in this respect every act that the guard intends to obstruct Achieving the purpose of the reservation.
The misappropriation of the things seized may be by squandering these things, that is, by disposing of them by sale or by clearing or by consuming them or by destroying them, and it may be by concealing things, but by simply not presenting them for sale is considered embezzlement.
3- The moral element: criminal intent - there is criminal intent in this crime if the embezzlement takes place with the intention of preventing the execution of the seized thing or creating obstacles for the purpose of that execution, and the criminal intent requires the availability of two elements of will and knowledge.
Completeness of the crime: The crime is carried out with embezzlement associated with the intent to obstruct the execution. This crime is one of the temporary crimes that takes place and ends as soon as the act of embezzlement takes place, and therefore the period of extinguishing the lawsuit with it must be running from that time.
Participation in the crime: The guard may have a partner in dissipating the crime, and he will be liable for the crime according to the general rules of participation, but the difficulty is if the partner is the owner of the confiscated items. Article 342 stipulates penalties for not being applicable to the owner unless he is a guard.
Punishment: Imprisonment, and a fine not exceeding one hundred pounds may be added to him.
Asserting that the elements of the crime of dispelling seizures are not met:

2- The Court of Cassation ruled that it is decided that the punishment for the crime of dispersal of seizures is required for the accused to be aware of real knowledge of the date set for the sale, then he deliberately fails to present the seized items on this day with the intent to obstruct the execution, and it is not sufficient to prove knowledge based on the ruling to announce the accused in a confrontation of his subordinate Without evidence that the accused is proven aware of him by certainty, if such considerations are valid to adhere to against the accused from a civil point of view, then it is not valid in the criminal matters to hold him accountable accordingly.
What was that and the appealed ruling had inferred the availability of the appellant’s knowledge of the day to which the sale was postponed, with what is fixed in the report of the sale postponement, that the seizure representative addressed the shop’s worker in his capacity as a subordinate to the appellant, and from the latter’s admission in the memorandum presented of his defense of the subordination of this factor He has arranged for this announcement to have his knowledge available on the day set for sale without making sure that the appellant is aware of this day by making clear that the recipient of the declaration has informed of the appellant, because the appealed ruling is tainted by deficiencies that warrant its reversal.
