What is white collar crime?
What’s the difference between white collar crime and corporate crime?
White collar crime typically refers to a crime involving a business that has been committed by an individual. On the other hand, corporate crime usually refers to illegal activity being conducted by an entire corporation or multiple leaders within a corporation.
White collar crime can include the following charges:
- Fraud, including cyber fraud
- Bribery, blackmailing or coercion
- Laundering money
- Obtaining property or any financial advantage by deception
- Possessing proceeds of crime intentionally, negligently or recklessly
- Embezzlement or misappropriation of funds or assets
- Identity theft
- Insurance or tax fraud
Because these crimes are often committed over a number of months or even years on an ongoing basis, they can be incredibly complex and require expert lawyers in order to create an adequate defense in court.
Penalties and sentencing for white collar crimes can be serious, including hefty fines, disqualification of licensing or relevant privileges, barring, exclusion from relevant organisations and even jail time.
