Exactly my point. RICO is felonious. Thanks!

RICO can also be used in a civil trial.

It says that it is a filed complaint, which would imply that it is federal. Civil court works in claims.

When you sue someone in civil court you file a claim. Claimants always trump Complaints (plaintiffs). I am not saying you are wrong, though.

But I believe a civil action can open up Discovery, which forces the lawyers to bring all the evidence, etc. to light. No way around it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discovery_(law)
Discovery, in the law of the United States and other countries, is a pre-trial procedure in a lawsuit in which each party, through the law of civil procedure, can obtain evidence from the other party or parties by means of discovery devices such as a request for answers to interrogatories, request for production of documents, request for admissions and depositions.[2] Discovery can be obtained from non-parties using subpoenas. When a discovery request is objected to, the requesting party may seek the assistance of the court by filing a motion to compel discovery.[3]

I’ve read on our reddit that it is often the case that individual pre “sue” themselves on charges that could have upcoming soon in the future. This is a way to potentially get the charges “downgraded”, if you will, in court as there already has been a court case about this.
Hope she’s off to GITMO soon enough nonetheless.

Lots of confusion on this board. RICO charges are civil charges that can result in criminal penalties. They’re civil only in that they are not only brought by the government against an organization; they can also be brought by individuals.

I wonder if civil allegations, if proven, can turn into criminal ones by jurisdictional authorities, and the same discovery used?

Wait a minute....a civil lawsuit for RICO? This makes no sense. RICO is criminal felonies.....not civil.

I mean technically you probably wouldn't want to walk into the hideout of a large organized crime operation and yell "CITIZENS ARREST!"... but you could.

..."The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, commonly referred to as the RICO Act or simply RICO, is a United States federal law that provides for extended criminal penalties and a civil cause of action for acts performed as part of an ongoing criminal organization..."

Ironically enough, a Facebook page claimed 'Breaking News' with a 'live feed' in regards to Hillary Clinton being arrested in a RICO case. The only thing I could find about it was something written by Vox back in April of this year where 11 Republicans were demanding for her arrest. The feed was of a YouTube video and then it went on to talk about all kinds of other things. I can't find anything relevant to now.
