International Theft Defense Lawyers

Theft Crimes

The legal approach to theft crimes worldwide is similar only in the acknowledgement that theft is varied crime. Countries around the world define theft crimes by the type of property stolen, the value of the property, the circumstances surrounding the crime, and by cultural considerations.

A U.S. citizen charged with a theft crime abroad should exercise extreme caution in dealing with authorities. The rights and privileges granted to U.S. citizens are not worldwide. Also, cultural differences can lead U.S. travelers to underestimate the seriousness of a theft crime.

As in the United States, some countries may maintain a codified system of aggravating circumstances for theft crimes. If one or more of these aggravating circumstances are involved in the theft, the punishment for the crime is more severe. Some common aggravating circumstances include the use of a weapon or the involvement of narcotics in the crime. Through ignorance, an American citizen can unknowingly escalate the case against him or her.

A criminal trial always takes a toll. When a friend or family member has been charged in an international theft crime, that toll can be multiplied to unbearable levels. For those wondering what they can do to help a loved one charged with a criminal case overseas, getting effective, knowledgeable legal counsel should be the logical first step.

If a friend or a family member is facing international theft charges, please contact the International Legal Defense Council (ILDC). The ILDC is a New York-based professional association of international criminal defense lawyers. International defense attorneys and ILDC members Michael Griffith, Meg Strickler, and Dan Conaway have been widely recognized for their contributions to the field of international criminal law. Together, the ILDC team brings decades of experience as criminal defense attorneys to the service of their clients.

The ILDC criminal defense lawyers pursue all available avenues of support for American clients facing theft crimes charges abroad, including prisoner treaty exchanges, administrative lobbying, and coordinating legal defense with foreign lawyers. International Legal Defense Council lawyers also provide legal assistance to the overseas employees of American companies.

An international criminal conviction on a theft crime charge could shatter the lives of the traveler and his or her family. You do not have to face this time of trial alone. Please contact the offices of the ILDC.
