In Massachusetts, white-collar crimes encompass a range of nonviolent offenses committed for financial gain, often in business settings. These crimes can be prosecuted under both federal and state laws. Federal offenses include, but are not limited to, antitrust violations, securities fraud, and tax evasion, which are governed by statutes such as the Sherman Antitrust Act, the Securities Exchange Act, and the Internal Revenue Code. State offenses are prosecuted under various Massachusetts General Laws, including those related to fraud, embezzlement, and bribery (e.g., Chapter 266 covers various forms of theft and fraud). Penalties for white-collar crimes in Massachusetts can be severe, including fines, restitution, and imprisonment. The complexity of these cases often requires detailed financial and legal analysis, and defendants typically seek representation from attorneys with expertise in white-collar criminal defense. It's important to note that the specific statutes and penalties applicable to any given case will depend on the nature of the crime, the amount of money involved, and other factors.
