This is a civil action to dissolve the NRA and sue the individual defendants who violated state laws governing nonprofit organizations, not a criminal matter. There seem to be some misunderstandings about what is going on here, and expressions of disappointment that nobody's been indicted. The NY AG has stated that if they discover possible crimes in the course of their continued investigation they will refer them to the Manhattan DA and the IRS. So please don't go off on her for not charging anybody with crimes. That's not what's going on here.samnsara

The Attorney General's unique statewide criminal jurisdiction enables the Criminal Enforcement and Financial Crimes Bureau (CEFC or the Bureau) to address criminal conduct throughout New York State, including complex financial crimes which cross county lines. The Bureau includes attorneys and analysts who, together with designated investigators and auditors, conduct in-depth, long-term criminal investigations and prosecute cases from charging through conviction. The Bureau's main office is located in New York City, with additional offices in Albany, Buffalo and Syracuse.

In most states the AG's office doesn't act as a prosecutor except under certain specific circumstances. Letitia James stated that they would refer any potential crimes to the Manhattan DA and tax fraud to the IRS.
