Questão jurídica principal
Whether the dismissal of the investigation for embezzlement was lawful
Decisão extraída
The payments received by the accused were not entrusted assets; he received them as an independent dentist and sole creditor toward his patients.
Fundamentação extraída
The contractual arrangement was an exchange relationship, not a partnership. The accused was not acting as an inkasso agent or intermediary, but collected fees for his own services. Any breach was civil, not criminal.
