Handling Grand Jury Hearings Throughout Ohio

In addition to conducting traditional police investigations, federal authorities are known to subpoena individuals to testify in a grand jury hearing and/or to produce documents — even before authorities formally charge someone with committing a crime, often a white collar crime, such as:

  • Embezzlement
  • Money laundering
  • Computer fraud
  • Public corruption
  • Mail fraud and wire fraud
  • Mortgage fraud

Federal and state prosecutors subpoena witnesses, “subjects” and “targets” to appear before grand juries as an opportunity to gain more information about possible white collar crimes. A witness is believed to have relevant information, while “subjects” are accused of engaging in suspicious behavior possibly in cooperation with the main “target”. Without proper legal protection, a witness or subject could suddenly find themselves the target of the federal investigation.
