THE RICO ACT

The RICO Act, which stands for the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, is a federal law in the United States that was enacted in 1970. It was passed as part of the Organized Crime Control Act to combat organized criminal enterprises, particularly those associated with organized crime syndicates.

 

While the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) is primarily a federal law in the United States, some states have adopted their own versions of RICO laws, often referred to as “state RICO” or “Little RICO” laws. Georgia is one of the states which has a RICO statute.

 

Congress described RICO as “an act designed to prevent ‘known mobsters’ from infiltrating legitimate businesses.”

 

RICO outlaws four types of activities:

(1) Section 1962(a) prohibits a person from investing in an enterprise any income derived from a pattern of racketeering activity;

(2) Section 1962(b) prohibits a person from using a pattern of racketeering activity to acquire or maintain control over an enterprise;

(3) Section 1962(c) prohibits a person from conducting the affairs of an enterprise through a pattern of racketeering; and

(4) Section 1962(d) prohibits a person from conspiring to violate §§ 1962(a), (b), or (c). “Racketeering activity” is an element common to all of RICO’s prohibitions.

 

Congress defined “racketeering activity” to include a variety of state and federal predicate crimes. RICO is not violated by a single, short-term episode of “racketeering.” Rather, there must be a “pattern” of racketeering activity—meaning long-term, organized conduct. Persons convicted of violating RICO’s criminal provisions are subject to imprisonment and forfeiture of certain assets.

Section 1961 defines “racketeering activity” broadly to encompass any of the state and federal predicate offenses listed in § 1961(1). RICO claims must be based on actual racketeering conduct. Conduct that amounts to garden-variety state-law crimes, torts, and contract breaches does not qualify as “racketeering activity” under RICO. The offenses listed in § 1961 are called “predicate acts” because at least one of them must have been committed through a pattern to sustain a RICO claim.

Senators Acquit Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on All 16 Articles of Impeachment – PAXTON CLEARED ON ALL CHARGES

*KEN PAXTON CLEARED ON ALL CHARGES*

Texas Senators acquitted Attorney General Ken Paxton on all 16 articles of impeachment.

 

Texas RINOs, including Bush and Rove allies, wanted Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton gone so they made up some accusations against him without evidence in an attempt to impeach him.

 

Attorney General Ken Paxton is the one man who has stood up against the Democrat-Marxist onslaught in the great state of Texas. Democrats and Secret Sleeper Republicans hate him for this.
