Summary

During Prohibition, Al Capone became one of America’s most notorious organized crime figures, yet federal authorities struggled to secure a major conviction. Investigators from the Treasury Department pursued his financial records while other federal efforts targeted organized crime in Chicago. Their work culminated in a landmark income tax evasion prosecution in 1931. This episode explores the federal investigative strategy that ended Capone’s criminal career.
