Against the law (7)

Ross

I think it could be either:

illegal

illicit

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">against the law</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for illicit that I've seen before include "Contrary to or forbidden by law" , "Under the counter" , "Felonious" , "Forbidden by law, rules" , "wrong" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, the LA Times, The Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Irish Times (Simplex), The Telegraph, The Sun, The Irish Times and the New York Times.
