Experienced RICO and Racketeering Defense Attorneys
Culleton and Marinaccio, Attorneys at Law - White Plains, New York
The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act allows federal and state law enforcement officials to charge individuals and/or businesses with racketeering (a pattern of illegal activity like money laundering carried out as part of an enterprise that is owned or controlled by those who are engaged in the illegal activity). The violations must have occurred within a ten-year period. RICO charges, because they involve analysis of several instances of alleged criminal activity, are more complex and challenging to investigate and defend than a typical criminal case.
Convictions on RICO charges such as money laundering, extortion, labor racketeering, wire fraud, Hobbs Act robberies and bribery bring severe consequences. Penalties include lengthy prison sentences, seizure of your assets, forfeiture of your profits and even the loss of your home or business.
When you are facing these serious charges you need a lawyer with in-depth knowledge of federal racketeering-related laws. Your lawyer must also have the skill, experience and confidence to aggressively represent your rights and argue your case.
