Racketeering/RICO

The attorneys at the Law Offices of Michael V. Cibella, LLC, in New York represent clients facing racketeering charges in Manhattan, Midtown and Brooklyn. You have the right to remain silent if you are being investigated for racketeering or any white collar criminal charge. Take advantage of this right to protect and preserve your future.

Racketeering is a serious white collar criminal offense and carries severe penalties if you are convicted. Our lawyers have more than 15 years of experience handling white collar criminal defense cases. We are dedicated to protecting your best interests by providing strong legal representation from the moment you are being investigated.

Criminal Charges Under RICO

Federal prosecutors use the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, or RICO, to investigate and potentially convict someone of racketeering and other criminal offenses. Under RICO, prosecutors must prove:

  • You own or manage the organization
  • The organization performs one or more illegal activity

Common illegal activities listed in RICO claims include embezzlement, money laundering, fraud, federal drug offenses, robbery or violent crimes. All members, even lower-ranking members, of an organization can face criminal charges.

Why You Need Our Legal Counsel

A skilled criminal defense lawyer can go a long way in providing a solid defense in your case. We understand what’s at stake — in addition to going to jail and significant fines, your professional reputation can be ruined.
