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.
After his surprise meeting earlier this month with a small group of so-called gang leaders, Chicago Police Superintendent Jody Weis said he wanted them to get familiar with the term 'RICO.'. RICO is the acronym for Racketeer-influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. It is a complicated, and sometimes controversial federal law initially constructed to assist law enforcement's fight against organized crime. It's also used in public corruption cases - Governors Ryan and Blagojevich know this.
