Capone, Al (Alphonse) (1899–1947), a United States gangster. During the prohibition era, he achieved international notoriety as boss of the Chicago underworld. By ruthless extermination of rival gangs, Capone gained control of the bootleg liquor business, prostitution, gambling, and other rackets in Chicago. Although it could not be proved, it is virtually certain he was responsible for the St. Valentine's Day massacre, in which his henchmen murdered seven members of the Bugs Moran gang in 1929.Capone was convicted of income tax evasion in 1931 and served eight years in prison. Seriously ill upon his release, he retired to Florida. Capone was born in Naples, Italy. He was raised in New York City and there became involved in crime. Capone moved to Chicago in 1920.
