Las Vegas Federal Conspiracy Attorney

Conspiracy: Legal Issues

The crime of conspiracy involves two or more people who conspire or agree to commit an illegal act. The individuals involved in the conspiracy must also engage in some type of action related to the crime, no matter how minor. The underlying criminal offense does not have to be fully executed for a person to be charged with conspiracy. When charged with conspiracy, they are often accused of committing or attempting to commit the crime itself as a separate offense. There are many different federal laws that prohibit conspiracies involving other federal crimes such as terrorism, racketeering and drug trafficking. The prosecution will try conspirators as a group. Oftentimes one conspirator's testimony is used as evidence against the other conspirators. A conviction in a federal case carries penalties that include up to five years in prison, fines of up to $250,000 for individuals or up to $500,000 for organizations and asset seizure.

A knowledgeable lawyer will review your case and explain the laws pertaining to conspiracy and how they will affect your criminal case if you have also been charged with a separate federal crime.
