What is racketeering?
Racketeering is a type of criminal activity in which money is extorted from a victim by threat or force. One of the most common forms is the protection racket, in which a criminal entity causes a problem and sells protection against that problem.
What are the penalties for racketeering?
Nevada law punishes racketeering as a Category B felony, which can mean prison time of up to 20 years. A Category B felony may also require the defendant to pay fines of up to $5,000. In federal cases, the penalties can be much harsher and will likely depend on the crimes committed in furtherance of the criminal enterprise
