This advanced training is designed for investigators handling complex cases in general crimes, financial crimes, and narcotics investigations.
Many investigators are unfamiliar with how to properly apply R.I.C.O. (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) and Money Laundering statutes in their cases. With crime organizations increasingly concealing illegal activities through racketeering and laundering, understanding these charges is essential.
These investigations are especially valuable to law enforcement because they often result in significant cash and asset forfeitures. Investigators working property crimes, narcotics, organized crime, prostitution, and large-scale financial cases will benefit from learning how to properly apply these charges to strengthen prosecutions.
This course equips participants with the tools and confidence to investigate and prosecute R.I.C.O. and Money Laundering cases. Students will gain practical knowledge on freezing accounts, seizing assets, and effectively building and presenting strong cases.
