Civil RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) is a law that provides a civil remedy for individuals and businesses that have been victims of certain types of fraud involving interstate commerce. It is designed to provide a way for victims of criminal and fraudulent activity to obtain compensation from those responsible. It is commonly used to pursue cases of fraud, money laundering, and other white-collar crimes. Civil RICO is a federal law that allows private citizens, corporations, and state attorneys general to sue for damages caused by individuals or organizations that have violated the RICO Act. The law provides for treble damages, meaning that a plaintiff can recover up to three times the amount of their actual damages. It also allows for the recovery of attorney’s fees and costs incurred in bringing a successful case. There are two types of civil RICO cases: private civil RICO and public civil RICO. Private civil RICO cases involve individuals or businesses filing a lawsuit on their own behalf against a person or company that has violated the RICO Act. Public civil RICO cases involve the government bringing a civil action on behalf of its citizens against someone or an organization that has violated the RICO Act.
