Also, note that it doesn't have to be just persons.
A company can be indicted.
A company, also known as a corporation, can be charged with criminal offenses just like an individual. This can happen if the company or its employees have committed illegal activities, such as fraud, embezzlement, or environmental crimes.
A company can also be charged with crimes committed by its employees while acting within the scope of their employment.
Indictment of a company is a serious matter, and if found guilty, it can result in fines, penalties, and loss of business licenses.
It can also have a negative impact on the reputation of the company and its shareholders.
Agent Smith: Mr. Suspect, we have come across your name on many of the indictments of companies involved in this global RICO conspiracy. Can you explain your involvement with these companies?
Suspect: I can't deny that my name is associated with those companies, but I can assure you that I had no knowledge of or involvement in any illegal activities.
Agent Jones: I understand that, but these companies have been indicted for serious crimes, and your name appears in many of the documents and evidence we've collected. Can you provide any information or clarification that can help us understand your relationship with these companies?
Suspect: I was a consultant for some of them, but I had no decision-making power or control over their operations. I was only providing my expertise in a certain field.
Agent Smith: I see. Can you provide any documentation or proof of your consulting services, as well as any communication or correspondence you had with the companies?
Suspect: I'll have to check my records, but I can provide you with what I have.
Agent Jones: That would be helpful. We also have evidence of large financial transactions between you and these companies, can you explain the nature of these transactions?
Suspect: They were payments for my consulting services.
Agent Smith: Ok, we will need to verify that information. And we have some wiretapped conversations, emails, and other forms of communication that suggest otherwise, can you explain that too?
Suspect: I can't explain that, I can only tell you that I had no knowledge of any illegal activities and I am willing to cooperate with you and provide any information that I have.
Agent Jones: Alright, we'll look into that. And like I mentioned before, the more information you give us, the better deal we can offer you. Are you willing to cooperate fully and provide any information that could help us with this investigation?
Suspect: Yes, I am willing to cooperate fully and provide any information I have.
Agent Smith: Good, we will be in touch to schedule further interviews and to go over the evidence and information you provide us with. Thank you for your time and cooperation.
Shit rolls uphill in this universe.
