What Is a Federal Crime?

Put simply, a federal crime is any crime that violates a federal law and is prosecuted by the federal government.

Crimes that cross state lines, such as drug trafficking or kidnapping, are the most common type of federal crimes. Other crimes, such as aircraft theft or tax evasion, are crimes against federal institutions and thus are prosecuted on behalf of the U.S. government.

Examples of federal crimes include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Bank Fraud
• Criminal Conspiracy
• Child Pornography Possession
• Money Laundering
• Import / Export Crimes
• Tax Fraud
• Kidnapping
• Drug Trafficking

Federal sentencing for certain crimes, particularly drug crimes, comes with mandatory minimum sentences. Mandatory minimums are triggered by the scope of the crime. For instance, a first drug possession charge involving a kilo of heroin or 5 kilos of cocaine (with no death or bodily injury involved in the crime) comes with a 10-year prison sentence minimum. If the same crime involved a serious injury, the minimum sentence jumps to 20 years. With such harsh and life-altering consequences on the line, you need the right criminal lawyer behind your case.
