“White-collar crime” is a catch-all label for a variety of types of charges. White-collar crimes can include criminal prosecutions related to a business operation. They can also include crimes related to financial or economic issues such as taxes or investments. Prosecution of white-collar crimes can take place in state court, federal court, or both. Depending on how the charges have been investigated, a person could even be charged simultaneously in state and federal courts with different white-collar crimes.
