The statute, reminiscent in many ways of federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization (RICO) provisions, proscribes conducting an enterprise's activities through a pattern of underlying (predicate) offenses. The list of predicate crimes in the state statute includes both violent and non-violent offenses, and defendants convicted of violating the statute may be imprisoned for between five and twenty years. Defendants may also be fined the greater of $25,000 or three times the gain associated with the offense. Mr. Trump is charged under thirteen of the indictment's forty-one counts. The indictment alleges that he: Conspired and endeavored to conduct and participate in an enterprise through a pattern of predicate offenses in violation of the racketeering statute (count 1); Solicited the Speaker of the Georgia House of Representatives to call for a special legislative session for the unlawful appointment of presidential electors (count 5); Conspired to caused individuals to unlawfully present themselves as presidential electors (count 9); Conspired to make a false certification document regarding presidential electors (count 11); Conspired to make use of the false certification with knowledge of its falsity (count 13); Conspired to file the false certification of presidential electors in federal district court (count 15); Conspired to make a forged document submitted to federal and state officials purporting to fill an electoral college vacancy (count 17); Conspired to use the false document concerning filling an electoral college vacancy with knowledge of its falsity (count 19); Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov LSB11024 CRS Legal Sidebar Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress
