Gainesville Racketeering Defense Lawyer

Are You Being Treated Fairly?

Racketeering laws were designed to increase the penalties of crimes committed by criminal organizations such as mafia or organized crime. If accused of racketeering, it is a serious offense and is often combined with other charges such as mail fraud, money laundering or others to increase the penalty and the likelihood of getting a conviction. Racketeering can include many different offenses. Often, the penalties imposed can be increased if the defendant can be found to have been involved in at least two offenses of criminal enterprise over a period of time.

Examples of criminal enterprises are: any type of fraud, bribery, robbery or theft, counterfeiting, money laundering, murder (for financial gain) and so on. The penalties are harsh with these charges and involve local and federal offices. The fines can be up to $25,000 and up to 20 years in prison.
