RICO is very much a crime. AN Ron Wright

RICO = Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO).

RICO is NOT an individual state applicable law, it’s state and Federal, so only (7) states “have it” …. Yet it’s fully applied as a Federal Law :

Federal and State RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) Statutes Compared (From Techniques in the Investigation and Prosecution of Organized Crime, Volume Three, 1980 - See NCJ-93571)

SOURCE : https://www.ojp.gov/ncjrs/virtual-library/abstracts/federal-and-state-rico-racketeer-influenced-and-corrupt#:~:text=Pennsylvania%2C%20Hawaii%2C%20Arizona%2C%20Florida,Jersey%2C%20California%2C%20and%20Massachusetts.

The RICO act has been around since 1970, it's been used to combat organized crime in the United States. Essentially, it's a way for law enforcement to bring charges against gangs and other criminal organizations.

In RICO cases, individuals can be punished for crimes related to the larger criminal organization.

Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO)

Who can be charged with RICO?

To convict a defendant under RICO, the government must prove that the defendant engaged in two or more instances of racketeering activity and that the defendant directly invested in, maintained an interest in, or participated in a criminal enterprise affecting interstate or foreign commerce.

What are the Different Types of Racketeering?

* Bribery is a common form of racketeering.

* Drug trafficking is a form of racketeering.

* Kidnap is a form of racketeering.

Example of FACT :

A.) Seven Puerto Rico Police Officers Charged With Rico Act Violations

“SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico– Seven Puerto Rico police officers from the Caguas Drug Unit have been charged in a superseding indictment for their alleged participation in criminal acts, announced U.S. Attorney Rosa Emilia Rodríguez-Vélez of the District of Puerto Rico. The FBI is in charge of the investigation.

On May 21, 2018, four police officers assigned to the Caguas Drug Unit (CDU): Eidderf Jhave Ramos-Ortiz, a.k.a. “Baby”; Juan Carlos Ortiz-Vázquez, a.k.a. “Juan C.;” Christian Rodríguez-Cruz; and Eric Velázquez-Martínez were charged by a federal grand jury in the District of Puerto Rico for drug trafficking and firearms violations.

Today, those four defendants, along with Ramón Cotto-Centeno; Luis Rivera-Ruiz, a.k.a. “Chopa/Agua Dulce”; and Jorge Muñoz-Martínez were charged in a superseding indictment under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO Act).”

B.) White Supremacist Gang Leader and Members and Associates Convicted on Racketeering and Murder Charges

“Five members and associates of a violent white supremacist gang, the 1488s, were convicted today in Alaska by a federal jury of RICO conspiracy, murder in aid of racketeering, kidnapping, and assault.”

“ federal racketeering case”

* The two most important differences are that the federal RICO statute requires proof of continuity and an enterprise. In contrast, the Georgia RICO Act can be used to prosecute individuals and schemes that have been active for only a short time.

All FACTS

RICO is very much a crime, it’s enforced by independent states and covers the entire USA as Federal Law.
