Federal RICO Racketeering Defense Lawyers
RICO stands for Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, which applies to a wide range of dishonest and fraudulent business dealings. These can include but are not limited to, embezzlement, securities fraud, and money laundering. Although initially developed to combat organized crime, it has been used to investigate many white-collar offenses.
