murder-for-hire
Paid assassination scheme
Murder-for-hire is the crime of paying someone to kill another person, or soliciting such payment.
The term covers both sides of the transaction—the person commissioning the killing and the hired killer.
He was convicted on murder-for-hire charges after an FBI sting operation.
The crime is complete once the agreement is made, even if the killing never happens.
