REPORT BY THE U. S.



General Accounting Office






Sentences And Fines For Organized Crime

Figures And Major Drug Traffickers




GAO analyzed penalties imposed and parole
release decisions for 1,044 organized crime
figures and major drug traffickers who were
sentenced between January 1962 and July
1983 in 37 judicial districts.

The median sentence imposed by the courts
was 120 months while the median maxi-
mum concurrent sentence that could have
been imposed on these offenders was 180
months. Overall, 74 percent of the defend-
ants received less than the maximum con-
current term of imprisonment authorized by
statute. GAO found that federal district
courts imposed criminal fines totaling $17.5
million for 383 of the 1,044 defendants. For..
260 of the 383 offenders (68 percent), the
court imposed less than the maximum fine
authorized by statute.
