Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit

1Opinion of the CourtMcKEE, Circuit Judge
Section 1964(c) of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act ("RICO"), 18 U.S.C. §§ 1961 - 1968, creates a private right of action for a plaintiff that "is injured in his [or her] business or property" as a result of conduct that is proscribed by the statute. In RJR Nabisco, Inc. v. European Community , the Supreme Court determined that, although a litigant may file a civil suit against parties for racketeering activity committed abroad, § 1964(c)'s private right of action is only available to a litigant that can "allege and prove a domestic injury to its business or property."
