Against the law in bill I cited (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

illicit

'against the law' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'in bill i cited' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'ILLICIT' is hidden in the letters of 'bill i cited'.

(Other definitions for illicit that I've seen before include "Felonious" , "not conforming to regulations" , "Contrary to or forbidden by law" , "Forbidden by law, rules" , "Under the counter" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
