Constructions: accused OF vs. blamed FOR

[Saneta]

before : stolen could be: having or we can omit it, right?
They were accused of having broken into the stately home and having stolen...
Thank You.

You don't need the second 'having' IF you use 'stealing'. If you use 'stolen' then it sounds strange without it.

Hello everyone,

May I add to all this the following:

When you are accused of doing something, this means that you have NOT been charged and the charge has to be proven.

When you have been CHARGED WITH a crime, that means there is enough evidence or even an eye witness to prove that you are the culprit.

If you have any questions on this I would be glad advance on this.

Greetings
