RICO Attorneys
The RICO Act, or Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, is a federal white collar crime law that issues long-term criminal punishments for activities that are executed by an active criminal organization.
If anyone is part of an organization and have committed any two of 27 federal crimes or eight state crimes in a ten-year window, they are in violation of the RICO Act. The public often associates state and federal RICO charges with organized crime syndicates. But these laws can apply to everyone, even individuals.
