Understanding Federal Conspiracy Charges
Conspiracy to commit a crime is a serious federal offense, characterized by an agreement between two or more persons to engage in criminal activity. This agreement does not need to be formal; it can be inferred from actions that show a mutual intent to violate federal law. For instance, planning a bank robbery, scouting locations and acquiring necessary tools all could be considered acts in furtherance of a conspiracy.
Common types of federal conspiracy crimes include:
- Conspiracy to commit wire fraud
- Conspiracy to engage in money laundering
- Conspiracy to defraud the IRS
- Conspiracy to commit tax evasion
- Conspiracy to violate RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act)
The penalties for conspiracy are severe and can vary widely depending on the nature of the underlying crime planned. Even if the planned crime was not carried out, participants can still face heavy penalties, including lengthy prison sentences and substantial fines.
How Are Federal Crimes Investigated And Prosecuted?
The investigation of federal conspiracy charges is thorough and can be invasive, often involving wiretaps, surveillance, and the gathering of extensive financial and communication records. Federal agencies, such as the FBI or DEA, typically conduct these investigations.
Once evidence is gathered, the case is handed over to federal prosecutors who are experienced in complex legal strategies and who will vigorously pursue a conviction in federal court. When facing a federal criminal trial, you need a defense attorney who understands how to defend you.
What Are Some Defenses Against Conspiracy Charges?
Defending against conspiracy charges requires a nuanced understanding of federal law and a strategic approach to dismantling the prosecution’s case. Some common defenses include disproving the existence of a conspiracy, demonstrating that no overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy was committed or establishing withdrawal from the conspiracy before any crime was committed. At Aberle & Connolly, PLLC, our attorneys are skilled in crafting defenses that are tailored to the specifics of your case.
