Organized crime cases are typically prosecuted in federal court when they involve violations of Federal Laws, such as racketeering, drug trafficking, or interstate commerce crimes. Federal law enforcement agencies, like the FBI or DEA, often investigate these cases, gathering extensive evidence. Prosecutors present the case to a federal grand jury, which can lead to indictments, and the trial is conducted under federal rules of procedure. Sentencing in federal court can result in more severe penalties compared to state courts, reflecting the seriousness of organized crime activities.
