What Types Of Cases Are Considered Federal Crimes?
Federal crimes are any crime that is prosecuted by federal prosecutors. It can include any such crime that involves crossing borders, utilizing the internet or if the victim is a federal employee or if it occurs on federal property, including:
- White collar crimes: Crimes such as embezzlement and securities fraud are typically pursued by federal prosecutors because they cross state lines in most cases.
- Wire fraud: Utilizing federally secured banking infrastructure is what often elevates these cases to federal crimes.
- Medicare, Medicaid and insurance fraud: These crimes violate federal law and victimize the federal programs.
- Internet crimes: As internet connections use infrastructure that crosses state borders, the federal government typically will claim jurisdiction, especially in crimes.
Often these charges will require a more expansive defense, as the federal government’s resources are significant. But you are still protected by your rights no matter what lies ahead.
Do Federal Crimes Carry Harsher Penalties Than State Crimes?
In many cases, yes. Federal crimes will often carry harsher penalties than state level crimes because at the federal level there are often mandatory minimums. Additionally, federal facilities are considered harsher and more intense than state level incarcerations. Federal sentencing guidelines can also include the death penalty more frequently than you may find under Indiana law.
