The statute of limitations for most federal crimes is five (5) years, which means that charges must be filed within five years of the date of the alleged crime.
Some federal crimes have longer statutes of limitations, such as:
- Income tax - 6 years
- Major fraud against government - 7 years
- Arson, embezzlement, citizenship fraud - 10 years
There is no statute of limitations for these federal crimes:
- Crimes punishable by death (e.g. Murder, Espionage, Treason)
- Terrorism resulting in death or serious injury
- Sex crimes with a minor
Thank you, Always A Marine.
Just as I thought...Thank you!
Conspiracy to cover-up that is still active with moves being made today?
I think one could also make a solid RICO case from stuff that happened recently.
