How Are White Collar Crimes Prosecuted In Indiana?
White collar crimes in Indiana involve nonviolent offenses tied to financial gain. Depending on the charge, penalties may include probation, restitution or a Level 2 through Level 6 felony sentence.
Federal authorities may become involved when an alleged crime crosses state lines, involves federal programs or targets financial institutions. The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) may prosecute these cases, with investigations by agencies such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) or the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI).
How Do We Defend White Collar Crime Cases?
We prepare for fraud, embezzlement, tax offenses, wire and mail fraud, and public corruption cases with trial in mind from the start. We review financial records, question the evidence and look for weaknesses in the prosecution’s case. This approach helps us build a defense based on the facts and prepare for each stage of the case.
