Tampa RICO Defense Lawyer
Protecting You From Life-Altering Criminal Charges
Racketeering or RICO violations involve a conspiracy or a network of people who have agreed to commit crimes including, but not limited to fraud, embezzlement and drug distribution. RICO is a law that was originally designed to combat Mafia-related activity, but the government has expanded it far beyond that, using it to charge those involved in seemingly legitimate businesses. These cases are often in federal court, although Florida has its own version of RICO that, while similar to the federal law, can be independently charged in state court. A conviction can carry serious penalties, including lengthy prison sentences and asset forfeiture.
