| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Imagine the following scenario: a group of criminals sets fire to a garment factory, killing 259 people and leaving 50 workers injured. The investigation reveals that the factory was set on fire to threaten the owners and scare them into paying extortion money. While extortion is generally a criminal conduct connected to the realm of organized crime, the intent of the criminals was to intimidate and instill fear in a part of the population, typically a tactic adopted by terrorism organizations. Imagine now that you were responsible to charge those accused of this crime: which charges would you lay against them? |
