Legal Question in Criminal Law in California
embezzlement or grand theft
I need help in filing criminal charges against my co-owner/shareholder/officer of the CA Corporation. As a corporation we received credit card and transferred $20,000 balances to our business checking account. When our business relationship went bad he, without my authorization or permission, transferred $19,000 from our business account to his personal account. I thought that this action represent embezzlement or grand theft. Unfortunately, when I went to the police, detective refused to file charges. Do I or corporation have a right to file criminal charges against him? If I do, I am will pay for the help with filing and conviction on these criminal charges.

Ifg the police or DA will not file charges you must sue for damages. I suggest you re-post this in the civil, contract, business law (etc.) areas.
Re: embezzlement or grand theft
You don't have the authority to pursue criminal charges. You can file your complaint with the police, which you've tried, and the DA would be the one prosecuting. You, the corporation or owners, can now only file civil suit for damages and pursue that, since the police won't accept the crimanl filing. Feel free to contact me if interested in getting legal help doing this right.
