Defending Organized Crime in Florida

Understanding organized crime in Florida

In Florida, organized crime involves Mafia families, corrupt enterprises, transactional networks, and street gangs – all belong to a coordinated structure for getting illegal profits or control industries through fraud, under-the-table influence, and violence. Along with the federal authorities, the state applies strict tools, such as the Florida RICO Act (Ch. 895), for holding a person accountable not just for an isolated offense, but for engaging in the racketeering activity pattern connected to a criminal enterprise.

According to Florida law, racketeering signifies committing, soliciting others to commit, or conspiring to commit crimes – including extortion, fraud, kidnapping, bribery, drug trafficking, and money laundering. These are part of a huge criminal scheme, according to the attorneys.
