Hi, What does ""legal and otherwise" mean?

[kencongcong]

I read it from newspaper, what does it mean?

 

[JMurray]

"legal and otherwise"

kencongcon.
It could mean:
"legal and illegal"
or
"to do with the law and not to do with the law"

If you supply the whole sentence (or more) from the newspaper you will get a better answer.
