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