All right, see…you ain’t takin’ me without a fight! Sometimes we associate racketeering with organized crime or for the older of us…with Al Capone. It really is as simple as this. If you have been accused of offering a dishonest service in order to solve a problem that did not previously exist…that is racketeering.
Some examples of this crime include extortion, being accused of loan sharking, money laundering, bribery, or obstruction of justice. The prosecutor has the option to seize all of the assets of the accused. This way, an individual or a group cannot move those assets into a “shell” corporation to protect them regardless of the verdict.
