How Does Illinois Define Conspiracy?
In Illinois, conspiracy involves people planning to engage in illegal activity. This means that even if a person does not commit the crime, planning it can still result in conspiracy charges. Common examples of conspiracy cases we handle include conspiracy to:
- Commit fraud
- Distribute controlled substances
- Commit theft
These cases often require a detailed examination of the facts and circumstances surrounding the alleged conspiracy. We will work closely with you to help you understand every aspect of your case and help you make decisions that serve your interests.
State Vs. Federal Conspiracy Charges
While many conspiracy charges are prosecuted at the state level, certain situations can elevate them to a federal criminal charge. The general federal conspiracy statute addresses conspiracies to commit any offense against the United States or to defraud the United States. Federal conspiracy cases often involve crimes that cross state lines or have broader implications, such as conspiracy to commit mail fraud or drug trafficking. Since one of our attorneys is a former Deputy Chief Assistant United States Attorney, we are well-versed in the complexities of federal law and prepared to handle the intricacies of federal conspiracy charges.
