Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO)
RICO is an act that specifically prohibits organized crime activities/racketeering such as money laundering, conspiracy, embezzlement, fraud, illegal gambling schemes, bribery. It targets individuals working at the top tiers of criminal organizations. RICO can also include prostitution, labor violations and drug crimes. However, more and more drug crimes are being handled through the continuing criminal enterprise (CCE) statute.
Continuing Criminal Enterprise (CCE)
Unlike RICO, CCE targets only one area of alleged criminal activity: illegal drugs. By focusing on the leadership of drug rings, the statute targets drug traffickers who are alleged to be responsible for elaborate, long-term conspiracies to commit felony drug crimes, including counterfeiting, dealing drugs and illegally dispensing prescription drugs.
