6 things to know about RICO violations, which are usually associated with mobsters, but can apply much more broadly, legal experts say.
Donald Trump may not be a mob boss. But how and why did Georgia prosecutors charge him and his associates with committing a crime very much connected with, well, organized crime?
When did RICO go into effect? And why was it created in the first place? Originally, the RICO law was established at the federal level in 1970. And, yes, it was very much created as a tool to combat organized crime — or as the Justia website says, it’s “the ‘ultimate hit man’ in mob prosecutions.
The Justia site puts it thusly: The group charged under a criminal RICO violation “might be a crime family, a street gang or a drug cartel. But it may also be a corporation, a political party, or a managed care company. The enterprise just has to be a discrete entity.”
