The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO Act or 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. RICO has been used to prosecute organized crime, including the Mafia, the Hells Angels, and the Key West Police Department in Monroe County, Florida. International equivalents of RICO are as follows: In Australia the Australian Crime Commission has powers based on similar legislation and regulations. New Zealand has a similar arrangement and commission. In Canada, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions enforce rules and regulations that cumulatively are equivalent to RICO. Under RICO, a person who is a member of an enterprise that has committed any 2 of thirty-five crimes (27 federal crimes and 8 state crimes) within a ten year period, can be charged with racketeering. Anyone found guilty of racketeering can be fined up to $25,000 and / or sentenced to twenty years in prison, per racketeering count. As well, the racketeer must forfeit all ill-gotten gains and interest in any business gained through a pattern of "racketeering activity." RICO also permits a private individual harmed by the actions of such an enterprise to file a civil suit; if successful, the individual can collect treble damages.
