In what circumstances will the RICO legislation change the definition of conspiracy law as related to organized crime?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Zemek, 634 F.2d 1159 (9th Cir. 1980):
It has been noted that the language and legislative history of RICO do not expressly indicate an intent to rework basic conspiracy law as related to organized crime. See Note, 65 U.Va.L.Rev. 109 (1979). See also United States v. Anderson, 626 F.2d 1358 (8th Cir. 1980). In any event, the conspiratorial objective herein is not as ill-defined as in Elliott. A single overall agreement can be identified under coventional conspiracy doctrine.
