WHAT ARE THE PENALTIES FOR RACKETEERING?

RICO laws typically do not target individual criminal acts but are instead reserved for members of suspected criminal enterprises that engage in repeated racketeering activities. Convictions under the RICO Act can be met with punishments greater than what the individual crime may otherwise call for. According to U.S. Code 18 § 1963, each count of racketeering can be punishable by up to 20 years in prison (or life if the underlying crime qualifies), forfeiture of assets, and treble fines (restitution of three times the damage).
