United States Fifth Circuit

In a RICO lawsuit brought by Indian citizens who were recruited under false pretenses to become steelworkers in Louisiana, dismissal of the RICO claim is reversed where plaintiffs adequately pled a pattern of racketeering activity and stated claims under 18 U.S.C. section 1962(c) and (d).
