FRAUD & WHITE COLLAR CRIME

Winnipeg Fraud Lawyer

The criminal offence of fraud covers a wide range of crimes, including identity theft, uttering and publishing forged documents, forging documents, breach of trust, and credit card fraud, as well as white collar crimes.

This type of criminal law offence involves an Accused who defrauds any person, or the public, of any property, money, valuable security or service. One is charged with committing the offence of fraud as either being “under $5000” or “over $5000”.

An accusation can include a wide variety of criminal charges – and any one of them can potentially result in severe consequences. Convictions in theft and fraud cases can have a devastating impact on your future employment and ability to travel. Charges for theft and fraud can include:

• business fraud

• employer theft

• forgery

• credit card fraud

• shoplifting

• auto theft

• ICBC fraud

In order to prove a charge of fraud, the Crown must demonstrate that the Accused had subjective knowledge of the prohibited act, and, that performance of that act could have as a consequence, the deprivation of another. Identity theft relates to the fraudulent use of another’s identity for fraudulent purpose(s).

Such offences can be difficult for the Crown to prove and require defense counsel who have dealt with such files, and are both skilled and knowledgeable.
