A RICO prosecution memorandum and draft indictment, felony information, civil complaint, or civil investigative demand shall be forwarded to the Organized Crime and Gang Section, Criminal Division, 1301 New York Ave., NW, Suite 700, Washington, DC 20005 , at least 15 working days prior to the anticipated date of the proposed filing or the seeking of an indictment from the grand jury.

In particular, he said, news conferences and television appearances by prosecutors that generate publicity about indictments make it difficult to find unbiased juries when the cases come to trial.
The study said that such attorneys often take their ''lucrative'' fees in large amounts of cash, jewelry or even cocaine.
