How can I tell if I’m under investigation for a white-collar crime?
Unlike blue-collar crimes, in which the subject is usually unaware of the investigation, investigations of white-collar offenses have a well-defined target or pre-indictment phase. A prosecutor may be gathering evidence to present to a grand jury if one or more of the following have happened to you: • You are contacted by a representative of any of the federal agencies listed above. • You are contacted by a representative of an analogous state agency. • You receive a grand jury subpoena to produce business records. • You are presented with a search warrant to seize business documents. • You receive a target or subject letter informing you that you’re under investigation.
