Legal Question in Criminal Law in Illinois

Re: white collar crime state of charge

First of all, the employer can't charge you with a crime -- only the government can. Now, of course, the employer can report you to the government . . . and the government can choose to prosecute.

Second, to answer your question, you will be charged in the state where the crime happened.

Re: white collar crime state of charge

These days, jurisdiction (that is, what government can prosecute a crime) is more difficult to pin down. You do not give a great deal of detail that would help in answering your question. In many instances these days, people work from their homes and do so online. In that instance, you could be charged with a crime in several states. It could be where you live, or it could be where the job headquarters is located, or it could be where the effect of the crime is felt, like at a bank in yet a third state. The details of what you have been accused of doing are very important in answering your question. If you would like a more detailed answer, please go to http://shestokas.com/Ask_an_Attorney.html
