Fraud is a serious offence under the Criminal Code of Canada, involving deceit, falsehood, or fraudulent means to unlawfully obtain money, property, or benefits. It can target individuals, financial institutions, businesses, or government programs, and is prosecuted vigorously.
Depending on the offence, those charged may face significant penalties. Whether involving forged documents, money laundering, Ponzi schemes, or misuse of proceeds, securing experienced legal representation is crucial to protect your rights.
Fraud charges come in many forms, each requiring a tailored defence. Common fraud-related charges include:
Unauthorized transactions using someone else's account info.
Falsifying claims to get financial compensation.
Using counterfeit or stolen cheques.
Falsifying invoices for services or misappropriating funds.
Deceiving individuals or businesses online for financial gain.
Defrauding others using electronic communication (e.g., emails, phone calls).
Falsifying documents to secure a mortgage.
Using someone else’s personal info for fraudulent purposes.
Fraud charges may also extend to motor vehicle theft, stolen property, or minor theft if committed through fraudulent means. Each case is unique, and skilled legal representation is crucial to navigate your situation.
White collar crimes, often committed in corporate or business settings, include embezzlement, insider trading, and complex financial fraud. These cases can involve significant amounts of money and lead to charges such as money laundering, possession of proceeds of crime, or other fraudulent means. A skilled corporate fraud lawyer or criminal lawyer with extensive experience in financial crime can help defend against such allegations with precision and diligence.
A fraud conviction in Alberta can lead to heavy fines, restitution, or jail time, depending on the value and circumstances. It can also affect your employment, professional licensing, and immigration status, so obtaining legal guidance early is crucial.
A fraud conviction leads to a permanent criminal record, which may prevent you from securing certain jobs, travelling abroad, or being bonded by an employer. Background checks for sensitive or financial positions may become a barrier to rebuilding your career.
Depending on the nature of the criminal offence, the court may impose a sentence that includes prison time, especially in cases involving large sums of money or repeated fraud. Even low-level fraud charges, such as theft from an employer under $5,000, can lead to jail time and long-term legal consequences.
A fraud conviction can harm your personal and professional reputation, especially if you work in a fiduciary role or hold a business license. Reputational harm is often long-lasting and may persist even if you plead guilty to a lesser criminal charge or enter into an alternative resolution.
