Legal Question in Criminal Law in Virginia

Embezzlement

I have an ex employeer (Real Estate Broker) who is trying to blame a shortage in an escrow account on me. I was the accountant for two years and paid different contractors for rentals every month. I never hid money or paid without an invoice. We had a backup CPA who reconciled the bank records every month and she knew all the money coming in and out. No tenants or owners were ever short money - how does he prove this and who exactly presses charges?

Re: Embezzlement

I doubt that you have much to worry about in this situation(assuming that all that you claim is true and that you have a verifiable paper trail for the transactions for which you were responsible during the relevant time periods).

If charges were brought, they would most likely come from the local office of the commonwealth's attorney.
