RICO — Unanimity as to Acts of Racketeering Activity is a legal term that refers to the requirement that all members of a criminal enterprise must unanimously agree to the commission of a racketeering act before it can be prosecuted under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO). This means that all individuals involved in the criminal enterprise must agree to the act of racketeering before it can be considered a violation of RICO. RICO — Unanimity as to Acts of Racketeering Activity can be divided into two categories: substantive unanimity and procedural unanimity. Substantive unanimity requires that all members of the criminal enterprise must agree to the act of racketeering before it can be considered a violation of RICO. Procedural unanimity, on the other hand, requires that all members of the criminal enterprise must agree to the manner and means of committing the racketeering act. In order for a violation of RICO — Unanimity as to Acts of Racketeering Activity to be prosecuted, the government must prove that the criminal enterprise agreed both to the act of racketeering and the manner and means in which it was committed.
