Why Am I Being Investigated by the…

Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)?

In the U.S. – federal law enforcement agencies do not get more powerful and important than the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), which is specifically tasked with drug, organized crime, terrorism, computer and Internet, public corruption, and other federal crime investigations. The FBI works in conjunction with other federal agencies and targets individuals and businesses which are suspected of federal criminal involvement.

Office of Inspector General (OIG)?

The mission of the OIG is “to protect the integrity of Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) programs as well as the health and welfare of program beneficiaries.” The Department of Health and Human Services has a law enforcement wing called the Office of the Inspector General (OIG). The mission of this agency is primarily to zero in on healthcare providers who are suspected of Medicaid, Medicare, Department of Labor (DOL), Tricare, and other types of fraud.

Internal Revenue Service (IRS)?

Most people in the U.S. have heard about the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) at some point in their lives. However, many people don’t know that the IRS has an extensive criminal enforcement division, that aggressively targets businesses and individuals who are suspected of under-reporting income, underpaying taxes, and committing fraud and other potentially criminal violations of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC).

Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA)?

When it comes to allegations involving drug-related offenses, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) plays a central role in most federal crime investigations. These investigations vary but usually involve the manufacturing and distribution of illegal drugs (such as methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin, LSD, and prescription medications). At the moment, the DEA’s diversion control program is at the top of its law enforcement priorities. This involves stopping the unlawful distribution and use of addictive prescription drugs, including opioids.
