Question juridique clé
Whether multiple embezzlement and breach of official duty can be punished cumulatively for the same conduct pattern
Solution extraite
Yes. The ordering of goods in the city’s name and the later appropriation of the delivered goods were two separate, independently punishable acts; breach of official duty and qualified embezzlement were in real concurrence.
Motifs extraits
The contract conclusion in the city’s name already harmed municipal interests and constituted breach of official duty. The later appropriation of entrusted goods separately fulfilled embezzlement. The latter does not absorb the prior official-duty breach, and the prior breach is not a non-punishable antecedent act.
