AL CAPONE: American Gangster StoriesDespite Capone's violent career and the brutality of his past, there is an on-going fascination with his life. Many fictitious characters have been modelled on him and the term 'mobster' or 'gangster' invariably conjures up an image of Al Capone. There have been plenty of books and articles covering his life and some of these have been made into films.
In real life, Capone's influence was enough to change the law in order to deal with him. The 1927 Supreme Court ruling that income tax was due on criminal earnings was intended to help the authorities trap criminals and was instrumental in Capone's eventual downfall.
This is the true story of the life and criminal career of Al Capone, the original American gangster, and one of the most feared criminals ever to have lived.
