Capone, Al(phonse) (1899–1947)

US gangster. During the Prohibition period, he built a formidable criminal organization in Chicago. He was brutal in his pursuit of dominance, killing seven members of a rival gang in the St Valentine's Day Massacre of 1929. He was imprisoned from 1931 to 1939 for income-tax evasion, the only charge that could be sustained against him.
