Human smuggling
You could face criminal charges for human smuggling if you help immigrants cross into or move within the US without legal authorization. Criminal case allegations may involve guiding people through the desert, transporting them in semi-trucks, or driving them across the country to other states.
Firearm trafficking criminal cases
These criminal cases allege that you’re involved in transport of firearms, parts of firearms, or body armor from the United States to another country without legal authorization. These cases may be fairly small, where the government accuses you of falsifying documents when applying to purchase a single firearm. But there are also large cases with complex government investigations that track mass firearm or related shipments.
Prescription drug diversion
A highly specific type of crime, prescription drug diversion is a criminal charge that relates to medical professionals who prescribe drugs with the purpose of drug redistribution. These criminal cases can be huge surveillance investigations, with confidential informants, financial and tax investigations.
Criminal Charges of Conspiracy
What makes conspiracy different from other criminal charges is that you don’t have to commit the underlying crime. You can be charged with conspiracy related to any type of crime—from drug trafficking and money laundering, to human smuggling and murder. The government only needs to prove that you agreed to work with other people with the goal of committing the crime.
