Conspiracy

Duncan Lewis Criminal Solicitors – Conspiracy

 

Charges relating to conspiracy can be complex and cover a wide range of circumstances, including fraud, white collar crime, cyber-crime conspiracies, cartels, drugs conspiracies and conspiracy to commit a violent crime such as murder, rape, GBH, torture or terrorism.

 

Conspiracy may also relate to breaches of the Official Secrets Act 1989, where the security of the State may be put at risk.

 

A conviction for conspiracy will rest on evidence that a defendant entered willingly into agreement with at least one other party to commit a crime or illegal act, regardless of whether any other activity takes place to further the aim of what has been agreed.

 

Conspiracy charges are covered by the Criminal Law Act 1977 and Collecting evidence is crucial in such cases.

 

It is advisable to take legal advice as soon as possible if there is a possibility of being questioned over allegations of conspiracy – at the early stages of such an investigation, errors and misjudgements can be made which may later prejudice the outcome if a case goes to trial.

 

The Duncan Lewis crime team has acknowledged expertise in criminal defence work, including defending conspiracy allegations or charges.

 

Duncan Lewis criminal solicitors can advise on conspiracy charges involving theft, business crime, fraud – and violent crime, organised crime or gang crime, including murder, rape, drugs offences and terrorism charges.
