These cases are investigated by agencies such as the FBI, DEA, IRS, ATF, and Secret Service, and prosecuted by U.S. Attorneys in federal court. Federal crimes often involve conduct that crosses state lines, affects federal interests, or occurs on federal property.

White collar crimes: mail fraud, wire fraud, bank fraud, money laundering, tax evasion
