In Norex Petro. Ltd. v. Access Indus., Inc., No. 07-4553, a RICO action alleging injury arising from the activities of an international criminal enterprise, or more specifically, “a massive racketeering scheme to take over a substantial portion of the Russian oil industry,” the court affirmed the dismissal of the action where 1) the question of the justiciability of the RICO claims was properly one of whether the complaint adequately stated a claim for relief; and 2) because the RICO statute lacked a clear statement of extraterritorial reach, plaintiff’s claims were barred.
