Court convicted defendant of embezzlement for failing to return pledged car after lender demanded return.

The court convicted the defendant of embezzlement (sprzeniewierzenie) for failing to return a car pledged as security for a consumer loan after the lender demanded its return. The defendant utilized the vehicle for over two years despite multiple demands and the transfer of ownership to the lender, only returning it in unusable condition years later. The court found the defendant's prolonged retention and refusal to return the property fulfilled the elements of embezzlement under Article 284 of the Criminal Code.
