Congestion Pricing in Manhattan is a DISASTER for New York. Itโ€™s got to be ended, IMMEDIATELY! Itโ€™s never worked before, and it will never work now. I love New York, and hate to see it being destroyed so rapidly with such obviously foolish โ€œpolicy.โ€ Thank you for your attention to this matter!

 

PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

RICO for the Minnesotans

 

Under RICO, a person who has committed "at least two acts of racketeering activity" drawn from a list of 35 crimes (27 federal crimes and eight state crimes) within a 10-year period can be charged with racketeering if such acts are related in one of four specified ways to an enterprise.[2]

 

Those found guilty of racketeering can be fined up to $25,000 and sentenced to 20 years in prison per racketeering count.[3]

 

In addition, the racketeer must forfeit all ill-gotten gains and interest in any business gained through a pattern of racketeering activity.[4]

 

A US Attorney who indicts someone under RICO has the option of seeking a pre-trial restraining order or an injunction to temporarily seize a defendant's assets and prevent the transfer of potentially forfeitable property as well as to require the defendant to put up a performance bond. An injunction or performance bond ensures that there is something to seize in the event of a guilty verdict.

 

This provision prevented the owners of Mafia-related shell corporations from absconding with assets. In many cases, the threat of a RICO indictment can force defendants to plead guilty to lesser charges, in part because the seizure of assets would make it difficult to pay a defense attorney.

 

Despite its harsh provisions, a RICO-related charge is considered easy to prove in court because it focuses on patterns of behavior as opposed to criminal acts.
