My friend took the company money and ran away.

If you are a state-owned company or your friend is a person appointed by a state-owned company, enterprise or institution to engage in official business in a non-state-owned company, enterprise or institution, you shall be convicted and punished for corruption.

If there is no crime of embezzlement by companies, enterprises and institutions

These two kinds of charges are common types of crimes, and whether they will be treated as major cases depends on whether the amount is huge and the circumstances are serious.

If a state-owned company commits the crime of corruption, 23,000 yuan belongs to the third gradient of statutory punishment stipulated in China's criminal law, 1 year, with a fixed-term imprisonment of 7 years.

If the occupation of 23,000 by post constitutes a huge crime, it shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than five years.

At the same time, for the definition of huge amount, the standards in different regions will be different, and the standards in developed areas along the southeast coast will be relatively high.
