Full Transcript
Al Capone survived gang wars, but tax records helped convict him. Prohibition made Chicago's criminal empires rich from illegal alcohol. Capone's organization also profited from gambling and other rackets. Investigators struggled to connect that money directly to him. Witnesses feared retaliation, and some refused to cooperate. Treasury investigators pieced together financial evidence and witness testimony. Their target was income that Capone had never reported. Money earned illegally could still create a tax bill. In 1931, a federal jury convicted him of income tax evasion. The judge sentenced Capone to eleven years in prison. The Chicago Outfit kept operating without its famous boss. The case turned hidden income into evidence in open court.
