Criminal Conspiracy Charges

A Strong Conspiracy Defence



What is a Conspiracy?


Conspiracy cases can only occur with two or more parties being involved in an agreement to commit the offence(s). It is very common to see conspiracy charges for drug trafficking allegations since this type of illicit activity often involves multiple parties being involved in a scheme. Conspiracy is also commonly charged in relation to fraudulent schemes, murder plots, home invasions, and mischief charges (protesters, etc.).

The Unique Nature of a Conspiracy


Elements of the Offence

  • Intention to agree, completion of the agreement, and a common design.
  • Need an actual agreement between the parties.
  • Offence complete upon formation of the agreement, so even if an accused later withdraws from the conspiracy, they can still be found guilty.
