根据旧《刑法典》（第 10/68 号法令）第 131 至 146 条，违反信托罪应受到处罚。新《刑法典》第 215(a)条将公共和私营部门的贪污行为部分定为刑事犯罪。但是，该条款并未涵盖挪用公款行为，而且要求对财产承担法律或信托义务。该条款也不涵盖第三方受益人。
Criminal breach of trust was punishable under sections 131-146 of the old PC (Act No. 10/68). Embezzlement, both in the public and private sector, is partially criminalized under section 215(a) of the new PC. This provision does not, however, cover misappropriation and requires a legal or fiduciary obligation towards theproperty. It does not cover third-party beneficiaries.
