What is Georgia's RICO Act?
Williams has been arrested under Georgia's strict RICO act. The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) is part of the US Federal law. This act was adopted in 1980 and states that if a person is found to have committed a racketeering crime then, as per the law, the guilty person can be imprisoned for up to 20 years.
Other than this the authority can accuse several people in the same circle, even if one of them committed or was involved in the crime. Moreover, Young Thug has pleaded not guilty to all the cases under which he was arrested in 2022.
William's attorney told ABC News that the rapper has not committed any crime and they are set to fight this case ethically.
