The 2.74.3 Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act-"Section A" (First Element-The Enterprise) is a law which defines racketeering activities and makes them illegal, and provides a legal framework for prosecuting individuals and organizations who are found to have committed such activities. This law was enacted by Congress in 1970 to combat organized crime, and is often referred to as RICO. The first element of this law is the "enterprise," which is defined as any individual, partnership, corporation, association, or other legal entity, and any union or group of individuals associated in fact, although not a legal entity. Examples of enterprises under RICO include organized crime syndicates, terrorist networks, and drug cartels. Different types of racketeering activities which are prohibited under RICO include bribery, fraud, embezzlement, money laundering, obstruction of justice, and extortion.
