Against the law (7)

Ross

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