Cargo por varios actos de malversación y descripción de dinero

Explicación Simple

Si alguien roba dinero o propiedades, se le puede acusar por varios robos que ocurrieron en seis meses. No es necesario decir exactamente qué tipo de dinero se robó, solo que fue dinero o algo de valor.

Es como si al hacer una gran cena, no necesitaras contar cada ingrediente por separado; basta con decir que usaste varios ingredientes para hacer un platillo delicioso.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan trabaja en una tienda y durante seis meses se lleva dinero de la caja. Aunque no se sepa exactamente cuánto o de qué billetes se trata, puede ser acusado de haber robado en varias ocasiones, todo junto en una sola denuncia.
