About RICO Charges in Atlanta

Racketeering Defense Lawyer in Atlanta, Georgia

RICO stands for "Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations." State and federal RICO, profiteering, and racketeering laws make it unlawful for criminal organizations to make money through legitimate business enterprise, as this is thought to then support the illegal operations of the organization. Most RICO laws enable law enforcement agencies to seize the legitimate business assets of a criminal organization, with the purpose of crippling the organization financially thus limiting its ability to continue criminal activity.
