What is RICO?
RICO is an abbreviation for the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. The Act was first created to prosecute figures associated with organized crime, but has since been applied in a wide range of circumstances. Under RICO, people may be indicted for racketeering if they commit any of a long list of crimes in a set period of time with a similar purpose or intent. Crimes include bribery, embezzlement, extortion and fraud in violation of state or federal law.
