Types of White Collar Crimes
- Fraud (S. 380): Deceit or dishonesty in order to gain property, money, or other financial benefits. Fraud may involve a small scale scam or large scale corporate fraud.
- Embezzlement: Stealing or misusing funds from your employer, corporation, or organization.
- Forgery (SS. 366 & 368): Falsifying documents, signatures, or records with intent to deceive or defraud others.
- Bribery and corruption (SS. 119-125): Offering, providing, receiving, or requesting something of value in exchange for influencing action(s). Bribes may be provided to public officials.
- Money laundering (S. 462.31): Engaging in financial activities to disguise where illicitly gained monies originated; thereby making them appear as if they were legally earned.
Possible Consequences for White Collar Charges in Ontario
White-collar offenses have serious consequences in the courts — especially when large sums of money are lost, when there has been an abuse of trust, or when members of the general public are harmed. The potential sanctions for white-collar offenses include:
Imprisonment: A person convicted of fraud exceeding $5000 is subject to imprisonment for up to 14 years. Where there was a loss of money to many people (i.e., victimization), or where the amount of money involved was quite high, judges will sometimes impose longer prison terms.
Fines and Restitution: As with any other offense, the fines imposed upon a defendant who commits a white-collar offense may be very high. Further, in addition to paying these fines, defendants are often required to make restitution to their victims to compensate them for the losses that were suffered at the hands of the defendant.
How We Defend White Collar Charges
White Collar Crimes typically are based on a company’s financial information; therefore, when a person is charged with a White Collar Crime they will likely have to understand Corporate/Financial Law and review their own/their Company’s financial documentation for evidence.
Some White Collar Crime Defences that can be used by a person being charged with a White Collar Crime are:
- Lack of Criminal Intention: Most white-collar crimes need the element of “intent to commit fraud” or “intent to cheat.” Therefore if it has been proven that the defendant did not have the required criminal intent then lack of criminal intent could be considered a defence.
- Mistake of Fact: There may have been a mistake of fact which led to the actions of the accused. A mistake of fact is when the accused believed at the time of the action that what he/she was doing was lawful. An example would be: “I thought I had the authority to sign that check.”
- Coerced/Duressed: The accused was forced/threatened into committing the act for which he/she is now being charged. This is a defence.
- Violation of Charter Rights: When police investigate an individual suspected of white-collar crime, the investigation process may take months. Police may also violate the accused’s charter rights during this process (i.e., an illegal search). Any violations may lead to the exclusion of evidence obtained from those investigations.
- Inadequate Evidence: Due to the complexity of financial transactions, it is up to the Crown to prove that wrongdoing occurred. Disputing the evidence presented by the Crown, particularly in cases involving very technical matters, may provide a viable defense.
