Legal Services For Fraud & Forgery Charges

Fraud, Theft, Proceeds of Crime or Money Laundering.

After years of dedication, hard work, and long hours, your employer wants you to explain a discrepancy in the financial statements, or the police have called, and they want you to explain why your business partner thinks you walked away with the corporation’s money. Before you talk to anybody, call me.

Whatever the amount is, large or small, you are in jeopardy of being accused of committing a white-collar crime. White collar crimes range from allegations of straightforward employee theft to complex banking transactions involving mortgages, stocks, corporate funds, or other financial instruments. What you think is an innocent financial transaction may be assessed by the police as fraud or by the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC) as money laundering.

Prosecutors all over the world are highly sensitive to transfers of money and cross-border business activities. Canada’s Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act (CFPOA) has been amended to give it more teeth to fight unethical business behaviour and authorities are more vigorous in pursuing offences. Fraud is being taken more seriously in Canada with mandatory minimum sentences now in force.

In addition to jail, proceeds of crime legislation means the police can seize your money or home and freeze your bank accounts.

I used to prosecute white collar crimes such as fraud, theft, proceeds of crime and money laundering. Let me use the knowledge and experience I gained to defend you now. Call me. Either Angelo Veneziano or I will take care of you.

“Have a fraud related trial. Will wear gloves.”

The police may look like they are interested in your side of a story. Do not lose sight of their tactical gear and handcuffs. Do not think you can talk your way out of a predicament. If the police want to speak to you, you better first call Sam.
