In Idaho, white-collar crimes encompass a range of nonviolent offenses aimed at obtaining financial gain, often through deceptive or fraudulent means. These crimes can be prosecuted under both state and federal law, depending on the nature and scope of the offense. State statutes in Idaho address various forms of white-collar crime, such as fraud, embezzlement, bribery, and identity theft, with specific laws tailored to the type of offense (e.g., Idaho Code §18-2403 for embezzlement). Federal laws also apply to white-collar crimes that cross state lines or involve federal agencies, with statutes such as the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 governing offenses like racketeering and securities fraud. Penalties for white-collar crimes in Idaho can range from fines and restitution to imprisonment, depending on factors like the amount of money involved and the defendant's criminal history. Individuals facing white-collar criminal charges in Idaho should consult with an attorney experienced in this area of law to navigate the complexities of both state and federal legal systems.
