por I leave you the best Al Capone quotes, probably the best known mobster of all time. The son of Italian immigrants and also known as «Scarface,» he was the leader of the Chicago mob during the Prohibition era in the United States.
Before the phrases, did you know those curiosities?
On his business card he said he was an antiques dealer.
He was a member of the criminal organization “Gang of Five Points”, which is mentioned in the movie “Gangs of New York”.
He had 8 siblings. Five of them were involved in criminal activities.
He had the nickname «Scarface» for a scar on his face caused by a fight with Frank Gallucio.
He caused numerous crimes, the most famous being «the Valentin massacre» in February 1929.
Despite his numerous crimes, he could only be accused in 1931 by agent Eddie O’Hare, who found out that the gangster did not pay his taxes. He had no choice but to confess to the crime of tax fraud for more than 300 million dollars. For this crime, he was sentenced to 11 years in prison in Atlanta, although he was later transferred to Alcatraz to prevent him from running operations from prison.
He came to have hundreds of gunmen at his service and 18 bodyguards who guarded his person and his possessions.
