Law/Patents - Law (general) / American Law - RICO act
English term or phrase: instant RICO action
The instant RICO Action is civil in nature. Although the Court determined that the actions of ZZZZZZ and others violated numerous federal criminal statutes, those violations served as the “predicate acts” that established XXXXX’s civil claim under RICO. The instant RICO Action was not a criminal action.

o processo/a ação RICO em tela
Explanation:
Achei, no Free Dictionary, um significado de "instant" que parece se encaixar perfeitamente no contexto. Seria "em tela" ou "em discussão". Não é um significado muito usado, mas está no dicionário! Com certeza o texto anterior vai deixar claro se é isso o sentido.

instant rico action
ação em curso consoante a Lei de Repressão ao Crime Organizado (RICO)


Explanation:
Creio que me precipitei na primeira resposta. A perguntante fala em "instant" action. A palavra "instant" no dicionário da Maria Chaves de Mello se refere a algo "em curso ou presente"
