RICO laws are covered under the Racketeer Influenced and
Corrupt Organizations Act. They were designed to make the penalties for crimes
committed in conjunction with a criminal organization more severe and cover any
two out of a list of 35 federal and state crimes. Racketeering charges require establishment of the existence of a criminal organization
and identification of a pattern of racketeering over time. These crimes include
embezzlement, murder, obstruction of justice, arson, counterfeiting, and others.
RICO violations involve two such crimes over the course of ten years with
similar intentions or results; a provision of RICO also allows civil plaintiffs
to seek triple damages for RICO claims.
The penalties for RICO violations are severe – a fine of up to $25,000 and/or up to 20 years in prison. If you have been charged with RICO violations, it is essential that you seek an experienced RICO attorney who can help protect your interests and civil rights as you undergo this complicated legal process.
