The Racketeer Influenced and Corruption Organizations  Act

Explanation:

The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act (RICO), is a US federal law that gives criminal penalties that could be extended depending on the criminal act. Moreover, it is a civil cause of action that reprehends the acts performed by a criminal organization (bribery, kidnapping, money laundering, trafficking, etc). This law was established to prosecute mafia members, gangs, among other criminal associations. Specifically, it focuses on racketeering; and criminals are tried for the crimes they committed or assisted.
