Interstate and Foreign Travel or Transportation in Aid of Racketeering Enterprises, commonly referred to as “Travel in Aid of Racketeering” (TAR), is a federal crime that involves the interstate or foreign travel of individuals in order to commit or facilitate the commission of racketeering acts. This can include traveling across state lines or crossing international borders in order to engage in criminal activities such as money laundering, fraud, drug trafficking, or other illegal activities. There are two types of TAR: interstate and foreign. Interstate TAR occurs when a person travels or transports property or items across state lines in order to commit a racketeering act. Foreign TAR occurs when a person travels or transports property or items across international borders in order to commit a racketeering act. In either case, the individual must have knowledge of the intent to commit a racketeering act in order to be found guilty of the crime. The penalties for TAR vary depending on the jurisdiction, but they can include up to twenty years in prison and/or a fine.
