The Financial Crimes Unit consists of two assistant prosecutors (one of which serves as the Unit Director), detectives, an agent, and support personnel.
The Unit investigates and prosecutes financial crimes involving amounts in excess of $75,000. The Unit also provides technical and legal assistance to other units within the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office and to municipalities within the county with respect to obtaining financial records via subpoena and analyzing financial records.
Financial crime investigations and prosecutions involve frauds pertaining to insurance, mortgages, investments, securities, healthcare, construction, and charities, as well as frauds committed by attorneys and employees of companies, along with Ponzi schemes and various phone, email, and mail scams. The financial crimes investigated also include various forms of theft, identity theft, misapplication of entrusted property, forgery, fraudulently obtaining or using credit cards, and financial facilitation of criminal activity.
If you believe you have been the victim of a financial crime, please contact 732-431-7160. If an initial investigation reveals that a particular matter does not warrant a criminal prosecution, referral may be made to other state and county agencies that provide guidelines and assistance to citizen complainants.
