NJ The Terrible Consequences of Continuing Criminal Enterprise

Defend Against Continuing Criminal Enterprise Charges With Spodek Law Group and Todd Spodek

Continuing criminal enterprise (CCE) convictions can have a devastating impact on individuals and families, making it crucial to retain expert legal representation for the case. As a leading national law firm, Spodek Law Group understands the severity of CCE charges brought under Title 21 U.S. Code 848- also called the “Kingpin Statute.” These charges target major drug trafficking enterprises that violate federal drug laws, especially those that involve serious felonies.

If you or your loved one finds themselves committing ownership, supervision, or operation of large-scale drug conspiracies- CCE charges are inevitable. Worse still, conviction comes with severe consequences: life imprisonment, penalties as high as $2 million fines plus forfeiture of all profits earned from the crime.

At Spodek Law Group, we understand the intricacies involved in facing such accusations. As experienced federal criminal defense attorneys handling past and present cases across the country, we offer personalized guidance through every step of the litigation process to ensure our clients receive fair trials with favorable outcomes.

The Complex Nature of CCE

It is essential to know how complex this criminal offense is when charged with CCE. The statute targets major drug traffickers running extensive drug conspiracies nationally or internationally. The definition of a CCE according to U.S. Code § 848 includes multiple violations against any federal drug trafficking statute involving five people or more.

Conviction requires proof that the defendant heavily participated in at least five other peoples’ violations while managing or organizing substantial income from such offenses. Other less-involved participants may face prosecution for different narcotics crimes not covered under the CCE statute.

Why Experience Matters

At Spodek Law Group, we boast one-on-one attorney-client interactions and aggressive defense with an in-depth understanding of federal regulations, particularly CCE charges’ defenses.

Our primary mission is renegotiating the charges to get them reduced or dismissed, reaching the plea bargains, and achieving not guilty verdicts. Our dynamic and aggressive stance defending clients affords us thorough preparation with extensive knowledge on how CCE cases are prosecuted successfully.

Penalties for CCE Violations

The conviction for continuing criminal enterprise can lead to severe consequences; hence avoiding it is crucial. First-time convictions could lead to two decades of imprisonment or life sentence with fines up to $2 million. Subsequent offenders face double the maximum fines possible.

Under the “Super Kingpin” provision, a mandatory conviction carries a life sentence without parole for kingpins. Criteria that satisfy this mandate include proving that:

1) Defendant was principal operator

2) The trafficking organization exceeds 300 times the drugs required for a five-year mandatory sentencing

3) The organization accrues over $10 million in one year
