USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Alphonse Gabriel Capone (/kəˈpoʊn/; January 17, 1899 – January 25, 1947), sometimes known by the nickname “Scarface", was an American gangster and businessman who attained notoriety during the Prohibition era as the co-founder and boss of the Chicago Outfit .

Detailed explanation-2: -Despite what Capone might suggest, Al Capone only had one descendant: his son Albert Francis “Sonny” Capone Jr. Al Capone’s only son was born on December 4, 1918, just a few weeks before Al and Mae got married. Many other people claimed to be Al Capone’s descendants, but Sonny is the only legitimate heir.

Detailed explanation-3: -By the time Al Capone was in his late 20s, his bootlegging outfit was reportedly grossing about $100 million a year-more than $1 billion when adjusted for inflation.

Detailed explanation-4: -It is important to note that this is the same year that Prohibition became enforced, although ratified in 1919. Capone had a brilliant criminal mind, and he focused it on organizing an international bootlegging (on this page, meaning specifically the illegal production, distribution, and sale of alcohol) ring .

Detailed explanation-5: -After arriving in Chicago, Capone worked for Torrio, who was part of a criminal network headed by a man named Big Jim Colosimo. When Colosimo was killed (possibly as a hit ordered by Torrio and carried out by Capone’s former boss Frankie Yale), Torrio took over as boss and made Capone one of his key aides.
