Conspiracy to Defraud and the Law

Under England and Wales law, conspiracy to defraud is governed by the Common Law and remains one of the most serious financial offences. It involves an agreement between two or more people to dishonestly deprive another of something of value or to cause a loss through deception.

  • Agreeing to dishonestly mislead or deceive another person or organisation for gain.
  • Intending that the dishonest agreement results in loss to another party.
  • Participating knowingly in the fraudulent plan, even if the fraud is not completed.

  • Entered into an agreement with one or more others.
  • Intended to act dishonestly to cause loss or gain.
  • Was aware of and participated in the dishonest arrangement.

Investigations may involve the police, CPS, financial investigators, regulatory material and digital evidence. Evidence can include financial records, emails, messages, call data, account material, business records, surveillance material and witness statements. 

Conviction can lead to lengthy prison sentences, confiscation orders under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, and substantial fines. Our Conspiracy to Defraud Solicitors review the evidence carefully, including agreement, role, intent, dishonesty, financial material and how the investigation has been handled.

Fraud and Financial Crime

Frequently Asked Questions

Conspiracy to defraud is a common law offence involving an agreement between two or more people to dishonestly prejudice another person’s financial interests or rights. The offence focuses on the dishonest agreement itself, even if the intended fraud is not ultimately carried out.

A conviction for conspiracy to defraud can result in severe penalties, including substantial fines and a prison sentence of up to 10 years. The sentence will depend on factors such as the scale of the alleged fraud, the individual’s role in the conspiracy and the overall financial harm involved.

Our experienced team provides comprehensive legal support. From representation during police interviews to developing robust defence strategies for court proceedings, we work tirelessly to protect your rights and achieve the strongest possible outcome.

If you become aware of a conspiracy to defraud investigation, seek legal advice immediately. Do not discuss the matter with others and avoid providing statements or information to investigators without your solicitor present.

Yes. Because conspiracy to defraud focuses on the dishonest agreement itself, prosecutors may bring charges even if the intended fraud was never completed or no financial loss ultimately occurred.
