East Texas AttorneyLawyer Unknowingly Engaged in Organized Crime
Wanted to know if you can charge two co-defendant's with engaging in organized crime when they use a lawyer (without his knowledge) to perputrate the crime. They are engaging in insurance fraud and the lawyer dutifully filed their fraudulent claim. My thought is you can because there appears to be no requirement that all parties know they are participating in a crime.
