From my US perch, visions of first lady girlfriends-only visits to Spain come to mind, for example. No that event doesn't qualify as "embezzlement" from what I can tell. Still a crime in certain respects, however, in my opinion. And here you have what France appears to be attempting to address it: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/france/8015626/Jacques-Chirac-to-stand-trial-for-embezzlement.html
May many hundreds if not thousands of like-situated lobbyists, politicians and interested parties in the United States receive this treatment. Suck it, cupcakes.
