A friend of mine was arrested for racketeering and the arrest type says on view what does that mean in Florida??

It means your friend has been arrested for racketeering which is punishable as a first degree felony and he can face up to 30 years in prison and be fined three times the amount of the money in question related to the charges. This is a very serious offense, your friend needs to speak with and retain an attorney. Best of luck

Racketeering is a charge which can be described as running a criminal enterprise, (organized crime). Racketeering charges began in this country with the mafia prosecutions in the federal courts. My colleague has correctly given the maximum sentence for that charge. I handle these matters and offer a free consultation if you'd like to discuss this further. Thanks

On view means there was no warrant involved and that the arrest was based upon probable cause developed by the arresting officer. I see that your friend is being prosecuted by the office of the statewide prosecutor. That means the offenses are alleged to have been committed in multiple jurisdictions. These are very serious offenses. For now he has appointed counsel. Should you wish to discuss his cases further, please contact me at my office in St Petersburg. Good Luck, Robert E. Heyman, Esq.
