Property and fraud offences encompass a wide range of criminal allegations, from theft and burglary to benefit fraud, forgery, and white-collar offending such as breaches of directors’ duties and financial crimes involving businesses. These charges are treated seriously by the New Zealand courts and can carry significant consequences, including imprisonment, financial penalties, and reputational harm.

​

The severity of potential outcomes often depends on the complexity of the allegations, the scale of loss or deception, and the specific charges involved. In today’s fast-moving world—where financial crime increasingly involves sophisticated technology and evolving methods of concealment—fraud-related offences are also attracting more scrutiny from a range of investigative bodies.
