Rule

RICO applies extraterritorially only to the extent its predicate offenses apply extraterritorially; the private right of action under § 1964(c) requires a domestic injury even if RICO’s substantive provisions apply extraterritorially.

Significance

Limited civil RICO to domestic injuries; important for transnational litigation involving alleged RICO enterprises operating abroad.
