White-collar Crimes
White-collar crimes are illegal acts committed through deceptive practices and for financial gain. In Australia, white-collar crimes can take many forms, including bribery, fraud, insider trading, embezzlement, money laundering and tax evasion. The laws surrounding white-collar crimes are complex and vary from state to state. In general, the penalties can range from fines to imprisonment.
The definition of a white-collar crime is broad but includes any act that results in a financial gain for the perpetrator. The Australian Federal Police (AFP) is responsible for investigating white-collar crime and enforcing legislation where appropriate.
In Australia, there are a number of laws that exist to protect individuals from white-collar crime. These include the Corporations Act 2001, Criminal Code 1995 and Competition and Consumer Act 2010. Companies can also be held liable if they do not take reasonable steps to prevent the commission of a white-collar crime by an employee or associate.
