§ 460.40 Enterprise corruption; jurisdiction.

A person may be prosecuted for enterprise corruption:

1. in any county in which the principal place of business, if any, of

the enterprise was located at the time of the offense, and, if the

enterprise had a principal place or business located in more than one

county, then in any such county in which any conduct occurred

constituting or requisite to the completion of the offense of enterprise

corruption; or

2. in any county in which any act included in the pattern of criminal

activity could have been prosecuted pursuant to article twenty of the

criminal procedure law; provided, however, that such person may not be

prosecuted for enterprise corruption in such county based on this

subdivision if the jurisdiction of such county is based solely on

section 20.60 of the criminal procedure law; or

3. in any county in which he:

(a) conducts or participates in the affairs of the enterprise in

violation of subdivision one of section 460.20 of this article,

(b) acquires or maintains an interest in or control of the enterprise

in violation of subdivision one of section 460.20 of this article,

(c) invests proceeds in an enterprise in violation of subdivision one

of section 460.20 of this article; or

4. in any county in which the conduct of the actor had or was likely

to have a particular effect upon such county or a political subdivision

or part thereof, and was performed with intent that it would, or with

knowledge that it was likely to, have such particular effect therein.
