BRISBANE — A former U.S. prosecutor who helped dismantle New York mafia organizations told a Queensland inquiry that similar racketeering laws could be used to counter union tactics threatening construction timelines for the 2032 Brisbane Olympics, according to reports from the Brisbane Times and The Age. Ronald Goldstock, who served as chief of the Organized Crime Task Force in New York, appeared before the inquiry examining labor relations on major infrastructure projects. He said the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) statutes and related New York laws provided effective tools against coercive tactics historically employed by organized crime groups, the outlets reported.
