Florida Racketeering (RICO) Lawyers
Miami White Collar Crime Defense
Florida's RICO Act (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization) is mirrored after the federal RICO Act, which targets criminal enterprises that engage in the unlawful acquisition of funds, also known as racketeering. Similar to its federal counterpart, Florida's RICO laws also criminalize a broad category of racketeering activity, such as fraud and gang-related activities.
