Fort Lauderdale Conspiracy Charges Attorneys
Miami Wire & Mail Fraud Lawyers
Conspiracy is one of the broadest federal criminal statutes. In essence, an agreement with another person that involves an underlying criminal offense may be interpreted as a conspiracy. Like other federal "catch-all" charges, such as money laundering, conspiracy charges are often used to federalize a case, or to increase the potential penalty to someone facing other charges. This means that even for a relatively minor underlying offense, such as possession of stolen goods, those charged with conspiracy may face harsh penalties up to and including time in federal prison.
Similarly, federal wire fraud and mail fraud charges are routinely used by overzealous law enforcement agencies and prosecutors to federalize cases that might otherwise be filed in state courts. If you are accused of a fraud that involved telephone communication or the sending of letters or faxes, you can certainly face these serious federal charges. Even sending e-mails can result in allegations of Internet fraud or other computer crimes.
