Racketeering Charges

To convict someone of racketeering charges, federal prosecutors must show many criminal acts done in a conspiracy. Racketeering is defined as committing many violations of certain types over a 10-year period. The government has the burden of proof, and must demonstrate beyond reasonable doubt that there has been a pattern of illegal activities.

The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) gave the government the power to charge any person or organization with racketeering for just about any charge having to do with interstate commerce. In practice, this usually involves drug and fraud charges.

The Earlier You Get a Lawyer, the Better

Of course, the lawyer you choose to help with a RICO charge can make a tremendous difference in whether you face a long jail sentence, or none at all. It is perhaps just as important to get a lawyer as quickly as possible. Most people know long before they are charged with a crime that they are under investigation, and there are many things they can do to protect themselves and perhaps avoid indictment altogether.
