Government Fraud

Topic

Government fraud refers to illegal acts of deception, misrepresentation, or trickery committed against a government entity or by public officials for personal or financial gain. It encompasses a wide range of illicit activities, including procurement fraud, bribery, embezzlement, and the submission of false claims for government funds or benefits. These actions undermine public trust, deplete taxpayer resources, and are heavily prosecuted under specialized statutes such as the False Claims Act.
