According to the Pasadena Star News, a father and his daughter have pleaded guilty to California conspiracy charges. The charges stem from an alleged scheme to avoid paying taxes by making cash deposits at banks. Reports indicate that Anthony Luna and his daughter, Dianne Sanchez, and brother, made deposits of less than $10,000 into several accounts in order to evade federal tax reporting requirements.
Conspiracy charges can be complex. It is important to contact a Los Angeles conspiracy defense lawyer if you are under investigation or have been arrested with any type of conspiracy charge.
Conspiracy is defined as two or more people agreeing to commit a crime, with at least one person completing an "overt act." An "overt act" may be any action that is taken to further the conspiracy, even trivial actions such as making a phone call, renting a car or delivering a package. A common defense is that one of the parties charged never joined, or withdrew from the conspiracy.
Conspiracy is a separate from the underlying charge, and those involved may charged with both conspiracy and the underlying charge.
Regardless of the conspiracy offense you are charged with, when you chose a California conspiracy defense lawyer, it is important that your attorney have the education, skill and commitment needed to provide you the skilled defense representation you deserve.
