Federal Criminal Defense Attorney, David J. Joffe focuses on defending persons accused of kickbacks. He has personally handled over 500 Federal cases. Call today for a confidential consultation.
Kickbacks are bribes that result from
collusive agreements, wherein government or business officials accept something
of value in return for steering business toward a second party. It is a crime to
be on either end of a kickback scheme – to either issue or accept the illegal
payment.
Federal rules against kickbacks deal primarily with federal undertakings, such
as public works projects that get their financing from the U.S. government. In
addition to prohibiting government contractors and subcontractors from issuing
or accepting kickbacks, the Anti-Kickback Act of 1986 makes it illegal for
employers to force employees to kick back part of his or her compensation.
Violators may face a $5,000 fine, five years in prison, or both.
Title 18 of the U.S. Code, Section 874, focuses on public works employees. It
applies to any work that is financed using loans or grants from the U.S.
government. Title 12, Section 2607, explicitly prohibits kickbacks and unearned
fees in connection with any federally-related mortgage loan.
Because public money is spent at every level of government, investigation and
oversight of kickback crimes is equally pervasive. Agencies on the lookout for
such crimes include federal agencies such as the DOD’s Procurement Fraud Unit
and the Office of the Inspector General, as well as state attorneys general and
insurance commissioners.
If you are charged with a kickback crime, you need an attorney with the
knowledge to manage complex internal investigations, identify potential
liabilities, and develop compliance programs to mitigate your exposure. For the
most positive outcome, take action before government action is ever initiated,
with the help of an experienced advocate at Joffe Law.
