Criminal Organization Charges

Gangs and Crimes Committed for the Benefit of a Criminal Organization

Criminal organization charges are being more and more common in Ontario.  The Greater Toronto Area has in the past couple of years seen a real increase in these types of prosecutions.  Essentially, Criminal Organization charges are aimed at what the police or prosecutors perceive as "gangs".  There are three criminal organization offences being: Participation; Commission of an offence; and Instructing commission of an offence.

Criminal lawyer Adam Weisberg has succesfully defended and appeared on several criminal organization prosecutions. 

One of the difficulties in defending criminal organization charges is that they are usually lengthy and unweildy prosecutions involving multiple co-accused.  It is absolutely imperative to get the client released on bail in these types of prosecutions because some cases take several years to complete.

If you or a friend are charged with any criminal organization type offence do not hesitate to contact Adam Weisberg.
