Rudy Giuliani complained about being prosecuted with the RICO laws that he pioneered to use against mobsters

• Rudy Giuliani complained about being charged under the RICO act. 
• The laws were used by Giuliani as a prosecutor to charge mafia bosses. 
• The new charges relate to Giuliani's alleged bid to overturn the 2020 election. 

Rudy Giuliani, the man once described as "America's mayor," has criticized the use of his own racketeering laws to indict him and other associates of former President Donald Trump.

Giuliani established his reputation as a US attorney in the 1980s by using Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) to pursue mafia chiefs in New York, but now finds himself facing charges under those same statutes.
