In Delaware, white-collar crimes encompass a range of nonviolent offenses committed for financial gain, often in business settings. These crimes can violate both federal laws and Delaware state statutes. Examples include embezzlement, fraud (such as bank, bankruptcy, credit card, financial, health care, insurance, and securities fraud), identity theft, bribery, money laundering, tax evasion, and computer-related crimes. Delaware's legal framework for addressing these offenses includes specific statutes under Title 11 of the Delaware Code, which covers crimes and criminal procedure. Additionally, federal laws apply to offenses that cross state lines or involve federal agencies. Penalties for white-collar crimes in Delaware can be severe, including fines, restitution, and imprisonment. The complexity of these cases often requires detailed financial and legal analysis, and individuals accused of such crimes typically seek representation from an attorney with expertise in white-collar criminal defense.
