Racketeering conspiracy

Racketeering conspiracy involves an agreement between two or more individuals to commit ongoing criminal acts as part of an organized scheme, often to generate profit or control. It includes planning, coordinating, or aiding in illegal activities such as fraud, extortion, or theft, with a shared purpose. Laws target these conspiracies because they facilitate systematic illegal conduct, and conviction typically requires proving a conscious agreement to commit or facilitate such crimes. In essence, it’s about colluding to carry out criminal enterprise rather than isolated offenses, making it a serious offense under federal law.
