RICO Attorney in Miami
Navigating You through the Criminal Process
Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) is a United States federal law which provides for extended criminal penalties and a civil cause of action for acts performed as part of an ongoing criminal organization. An individual who is a member of an organization that has committed any two or more criminal acts throughout the course of 10 years can be charged with racketeering. Furthermore, the racketeer must relinquish all unjustly obtained wealth and interest in any business gained through a pattern of racketeering activity.
If a person is convicted of a RICO violation, they may be penalized with the following:
- Maximum punishment on a single RICO charge is imprisonment for 20 years
- Relinquishment of any wealth or interest obtained through the business involved in RICO violations
