Federal Racketeering Charges Defense Lawyer
Texas RICO Defense Attorney
Racketeering charges are defined in these federal statutes:
- The Continuing Criminal Enterprise (CCE) drug kingpin statute
- The VCAR (Violent Crimes in Aid of Racketeering) statute
- Anti-racketeering statute 18 U.S.C. 1951-1968
- Racketeer Influence and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO).
Racketeering is a federal charge brought against people considered to be career criminals or drug kingpins. You can face federal racketeering charges if the feds suspect you of two or more criminal acts — such as drug trafficking, wire fraud, conspiracy, extortion, or money laundering — committed within a ten-year period.
If convicted of a RICO charge, you could face as much as 20 years in prison, as well as financial penalties and seizure of assets.
RICO cases are complex. Charges are usually brought after a lengthy grand jury investigation. As soon as you suspect that you are under investigation, or if you have been charged with any drug crime involving large quantities of drugs, drug smuggling across state or national borders, in addition to related crimes (financial crimes or weapons offenses), get the strongest possible defense.
