1. Entrustment of property or dominion over property (Statement 1). The offender must be entrusted with the property or have control/authority over it.
2. The property can be movable or immovable (Statement 2). The term “property” in this context is broad and includes both types.
3. Dishonest misappropriation or conversion of that property for one’s own use, or dishonest use/disposal in violation of law or contract (Statement 3). This dishonest act regarding the entrusted property is the ‘breach’.
– The dishonest intention to cause wrongful gain or wrongful loss is implicit in “dishonestly misappropriates or converts”.
