21365007@unknown@formal@none@1@S@The RICO law has come under criticism from some defendants and defense lawyers.@@@@1@13@@oe@2-2-2013
21365008@unknown@formal@none@1@S@They argue that the rights of RICO defendants and third parties not named in RICO indictments have been unfairly damaged.@@@@1@20@@oe@2-2-2013
21365009@unknown@formal@none@1@S@The department's most significant clarification of existing RICO policy is a directive to prosecutors that they should seek to seize assets from defendants "in proportion" to the nature of the alleged offense, Mr. Runkel said.@@@@1@35@@oe@2-2-2013
21365010@unknown@formal@none@1@S@"That means that if the offense deals with one part of the business, you don't attempt to seize the whole business; you attempt to seize assets related to the crime," he explained.@@@@1@32@@oe@2-2-2013
21365011@unknown@formal@none@1@S@In general, the thrust of the department's directive is to encourage prosecutors to limit pretrial asset seizures if there are less intrusive means of protecting assets the government may subsequently be able to seize after a conviction, Mr. Runkel said.@@@@1@40@@oe@2-2-2013

21366002@unknown@formal@none@1@S@Sen. Alan Cranston trekked over to the House side of Capitol Hill a few days ago and volunteered his testimony to fellow Democrat Rep. Henry Gonzalez.@@@@1@26@@oe@2-2-2013

21366006@unknown@formal@none@1@S@Seldom have House hearings caused so much apprehension in the Senate, where California Sen. Cranston and four other senators were already writhing in the glare of unfavorable publicity over the alleged looting of Lincoln by their friend and political benefactor, Charles Keating Jr., principal stockholder of Lincoln's parent company, American Continental Corp. of Phoenix, Ariz.@@@@1@55@@oe@2-2-2013
21366007@unknown@formal@none@1@S@At the first day of the House Banking Committee's hearings last week, William Seidman, chairman of the Resolution Trust Corp., the federal agency created to sell sick thrifts, said the agency is investigating whether Lincoln made illegal political contributions.@@@@1@39@@oe@2-2-2013

21366015@unknown@formal@none@1@S@In the recent Housing and Urban Development Department scandal, for example, Rep.
