English term or phrase: racketeering
Gambling, prostitution racketeering and extortion are their stock-in-trade


My question actually is not the word itself but I try to find a word for racketeering and another for extortion because they are approximately the same.

بلص/إِسْتِلاب /نَهْب


Explanation:
بلص = بلصه من ماله : أخذ ماله ولم يترك له منه شيئا
نهَب مالاً أو متاعًا : أخذه قهرًا ، أو سلبه بالخداع والغشّ = نهْب
الِنَّهْب : لِلسَّرِقَةِ الْمَفْضُوحَةِ الْقَائِمَةِ عَلَى الِاسْتِيلاَءِ قَهْراً وَغَصْباً
إِسْتِلاب = حاوَلَ اسْتِلاَبَ أَمْوالِهِ : اِخْتِلاَسَها
اِسْتَلَبَ مالَهُ : أَخَذَهُ مِنْهُ قَهْراً ، اِخْتَلَسَهُ
Arab language is very rich :)
