United States Attorneys utilize RICO statutes to combat organized crime, emphasizing disruption of interstate and international criminal enterprises. They aggressively pursue cases involving patterns of racketeering activity, including fraud, extortion, drug trafficking, and terrorism. 

Prosecutors seek severe penalties, aiming to dismantle criminal organizations and seize assets across jurisdictions. Key witnesses often include cooperating co-conspirators, forensic accountants, and federal agents. They prioritize cases that threaten national security, financial stability, and interstate commerce. 

They understand the complex nature of organized crime, striving to hold leaders accountable and prevent future racketeering activities.
