White-collar crimes — such as fraud, embezzlement, and insider trading — are non-violent but carry serious legal consequences. Both individuals and businesses may face investigations, fines, and even prison if found guilty.

Key Types of Financial Crime:

  • Fraud: Deceptive practices for personal or business gain

  • Money Laundering: Concealing the origin of illicit funds

  • Bribery & Corruption: Influencing decisions through improper payments

  • Insider Trading: Using confidential info for market advantage

  • Accounting Irregularities: Falsifying records or statements

Legal defense strategies often depend on early intervention. If your company is under investigation or suspects wrongdoing, seek counsel immediately to protect your rights.
