We represent people accused of federal conspiracy crimes in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Federal conspiracy charges can be among the most complex and challenging legal battles you will ever face. These charges often carry severe penalties, including significant prison time, steep fines, and lasting damage to your personal and professional reputation. Conspiracy cases are unique because you can be convicted even if the underlying crime was never completed—making these charges exceptionally serious.
Blue LLP’s lawyers, based in Raleigh, North Carolina, provide skilled and strategic legal representation for individuals and businesses accused of conspiracy in federal courts, including those in Charlotte. Our experienced attorneys understand the nuances of federal conspiracy laws and are committed to protecting your rights and securing the best possible outcome for your case.
Federal conspiracy laws are governed by several statutes, depending on the nature of the alleged crime. Among the most common is 18 U.S.C. § 371, which addresses conspiracy to commit any offense against or defraud the United States.
The statute states:
“If two or more persons conspire to commit any offense against the United States, or to defraud the United States, or any agency thereof in any manner or for any purpose, and one or more of such persons do any act to effect the object of the conspiracy, each shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.”
Additionally, there are specific conspiracy statutes for certain crimes, including:
Drug Conspiracy: Under 21 U.S.C. § 846, individuals can be charged with conspiracy to manufacture, distribute, or possess with intent to distribute controlled substances.
RICO Conspiracy: Under 18 U.S.C. § 1962, conspiracy to engage in racketeering activity under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act.
Money Laundering Conspiracy: Under 18 U.S.C. § 1956(h), it is unlawful to enter into a conspiracy to commit money laundering.
Successfully defending a federal conspiracy case requires a deep understanding of federal laws, court procedures, and the tactics used by prosecutors. Our legal team has years of experience navigating these challenges.
One of the most troubling aspects of federal conspiracy law is its broad application. You can be convicted even if:
– You played a minor role in the conspiracy.
– You did not directly commit the crime but were aware of the plan and agreed to participate.
– The underlying crime was never completed.
Moreover, conspiracy charges allow prosecutors to introduce evidence that might not be admissible in other types of cases, such as statements made by co-conspirators. This makes it easier for the government to build a case against you, even if your involvement was limited or indirect.
