Mob Boss Files: Al Capone

Al Capone, also known as Scarface, rose to power during Prohibition as the ruthless boss of the Chicago Outfit.

With a mix of brutality, charm, and corruption, Capone built a criminal empire that spanned bootlegging, gambling, and racketeering.

Despite countless murders linked to his name, it was tax evasion — not bloodshed — that finally brought him down.

Capone served time in Alcatraz and died in 1947, but his name remains synonymous with the American mob.
