Anti-Racketeering Provisions

Anti-racketeering provisions are laws designed to combat organized crime and illegal business activities, often related to extortion, money laundering, or drug trafficking. The most prominent framework in the U.S. is the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act. This law allows authorities to charge individuals or groups involved in a pattern of criminal behavior, even if they did not commit the crimes directly. The aim is to disrupt and dismantle criminal enterprises by targeting their leadership and financial operations, holding them accountable for their actions and network of illegal activities.
