RICO is an acronym for the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. This Act was put into place as part of the Organized Crime Control Act of 1970. However, civil RICO lawsuits are not limited to only cases of organized crime. It can also be applied to any legitimate business that engages in a pattern of racketeering activities, under the law. Common types of civil RICO activities include:
Bribery is considered as the offering, receiving, or giving of something in order to influence a public official, such as a member of congress, delegate, resident commissioner, or similar.
Threats of violence, property damage, harm to a reputation, or retribution used to force a victim into giving the perpetrator money or property, are all considered forms of extortion. Blackmail is the most common and familiar types of extortion.
This type of fraud, also commonly known as stock fraud, is the practice of convincing investors into making a certain decision based on false information of deception.
The first step is to sit down with you for a free case consultation to discuss what happened. We can then determine if you have grounds for a case. If so, we look over all of the evidence to determine what happened, including witness accounts.
Embezzlement is a form of theft that is carried out by purposefully withholding any certain type of funds. Often times, funds are taken by a member of a company.
Insurance fraud refers to the commission of any act that is intended to obtain a favorable, yet fraudulent outcome, during an insurance claim.
