In Indiana, white-collar crimes encompass a range of nonviolent offenses aimed at obtaining financial gain, often perpetrated in business settings or via the internet. These crimes are addressed by both federal laws and state statutes. For instance, antitrust violations are regulated under federal law and can be prosecuted by the Department of Justice, while Indiana's own statutes cover crimes like bribery (IC 35-44.1-1-1) and theft, which includes embezzlement (IC 35-43-4-2). Fraudulent activities, such as bank fraud, bankruptcy fraud, and credit card fraud, are also prosecutable under Indiana law (e.g., IC 35-43-5-4 for credit card fraud). Additionally, Indiana has specific regulations against government fraud, including public assistance fraud (IC 35-43-5-7). The state also enforces laws against identity theft (IC 35-43-5-3.5) and has provisions for racketeering and corrupt business influence (IC 35-45-6-2). Penalties for these crimes can range from fines to imprisonment, depending on the severity and circumstances of the offense. When federal laws are implicated, agencies such as the FBI, SEC, or IRS may be involved in the investigation and prosecution. It's important for individuals facing allegations of white-collar crimes in Indiana to consult with an attorney who is knowledgeable in both state and federal law to navigate the complexities of these charges.
