Alphonso Gabriel Capone: Chicago’s Crime Czar
Some of you might feel like the name seems familiar; you’ve probably heard of it somewhere but are unable to recall. Does the legendary Al Capone ring some bells? Co-founder of one of the biggest crime syndicates in America, the Chicago Outfit, Al Capone dominated the Chicago underworld for decades.
Nicknamed ‘Scarface’ because of the scar on his left cheek, Al Capone was considered the modern-day Robin Hood because of all the donations he made to charities. From 1899 to 1947, Al Capone was one of the few that controlled the criminal activities in the US.
