The RICO Act defines an enterprise as any individual, partnership, corporation, association, or other legal entit y, and any union or group of individua ls associated in fact although not a legal entity.
RICO employs broad definitions to sweep a wide variety of enterprise criminal activity into its purview. One of the original goals of RICO was to eliminate organized-crime families. However, because Congress could not legislate against specific persons or families, it was forced to use broad language to define racketeering and organized crime.
