Knoxville Racketeering Attorney
What Are Federal Racketeering Charges?
Racketeering has many definitions authored by the federal government, but
if you've been charged in a federal racketeering case, it means that
you've been accused of continual engagement in an unlawful act that
has yielded financial gain. Racketeering also most commonly refers to
comitting acts of intimidation or extortion for financial gain.
Crimes that can be included in
federal racketeering cases include:
- Arson
- Bribery
- Gambling
- Kidnapping
- Murder
- Mail and wire fraud
- Narcotics dealing
Again, these are just few of the many crimes that, under RICO law, are
associated with illegal enterprises. For a full list of crimes defined
as "rackeeting activity," see
18 U.S. Code § 1961. Because each federal racketeering varies so greatly in scope and circumstance,
they can result in a range of sentences. Federal statutes call for
up to 20 years in prison, and severe fines, if convictions are reached.
Again and again, our experienced Knoxville racketeering attorneys at the
Law Office of Joseph A. Fanduzz have provided just that.

Understanding Racketeering & Rico Cases
Racketeering has become synonymous with criminal syndicate cases and Congress'
Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Law (RICO) has been used
to prosecute many of these organized crime cases.
RICO cases are often extensive, complex, and carry serious penalties. It's
easy for critical details to be swept up in what is usually a deluge of
evidence, charges, and procedures—that's why it is absolutely
crucial for those charged with racketeering crimes to seek experienced,
competent counsel.
