The terms “white collar crime” is a catch-all for a variety of financial and fraud crimes. Charges such as racketeering, embezzlement, securities fraud, RICO charges and tax evasion are included under the umbrella of white collar crime. Very often these types of crimes are prosecuted under the broard charges of wire, amil or bank fraud. White collar crimes are serious matters, and the charges that stem from these crimes can lead to punishing consequences for the accused, or even people who simply caught up in the case.
Investigations into white collar crimes often turn up extensive webs of contacts and communication between a wide variety of people and companies. As such, the investigations into white collar crimes are immense, taking a long time to complete and a lot of resources to handle. People who are accused of crimes or are associated with the case can be questioned or investigated, and given the length of time these cases usually take, it can consume a significant portion of their life.
