Kangaroo Court

This term is usually used for courts that do not abide to due process.
I think that is also commonly used for the term you seek - 'mock trials' run by criminals to deal with their opponents/traitors etc.
Example sentence:

Anyone who crossed them would be subjected to a kangaroo court, with Charlie presiding – sometimes in the robes of a judge – and then handed over to Mad Frankie for punishment.

Peer comment(s):

disagree Shalom Bresticker : A trial internal to a criminal organization might be a kangaroo court, where the verdict is known from the outset, but does not have to be so.
