# 18 U.S.C. § 21 - Stolen or counterfeit nature of property for certain crimes defined
|
||
|
||
## Text
|
||
|
||
(a) Wherever in this title it is an element of an offense that—
|
||
|
||
(1) any property was embezzled, robbed, stolen, converted, taken, altered, counterfeited, falsely made, forged, or obliterated; and
|
||
|
||
(2) the defendant knew that the property was of such character;
|
||
|
||
such element may be established by proof that the defendant, after or as a result of an official representation as to the nature of the property, believed the property to be embezzled, robbed, stolen, converted, taken, altered, counterfeited, falsely made, forged, or obliterated.
|
||
|
||
(b) For purposes of this section, the term “official representation” means any representation made by a Federal law enforcement officer (as defined in section 115) or by another person at the direction or with the approval of such an officer.
