Examples of kingpins in a Sentence

  1. Jeffrey Grell:

    RICO was designed to address the Godfather - the person who doesn’t get their hands bloody, you would really only use RICO to go after the kingpins or the leaders.

  2. Ross McEwing:

    To have a significant impact on the illegal wildlife trade, there is a need to identify and prosecute the leaders of organized crime syndicates, the kingpins, who are unlikely ever to come into contact with the ivory directly, therefore, it is possible that this technique, whilst increasing the number of prosecutions associated with the illegal ivory trade by identifying individuals involved in the handling of the ivory, might have negligible effect on the volume of the illegal trade: national and international couriers are dispensable and readily replaceable.
