Against the law (7)

I think it could be either:

illegal

illicit

'against the law' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(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 New York Times, The Times, The Telegraph, The Sun, The Irish Times, the LA Times, the Irish Times (Simplex), the Wall Street Journal and The Guardian.
