Al Capone: Murders
built 221 days ago
From the ancient Greeks to Al Capone, the world's museums tell stories of empire building, innovation and virtue - along with murder, greed and misery. For every great leader, there's a villain, and the two personality types are often mixed in the same person. So why not a mob museum in Las Vegas?
Due to gangland tradition, Al Capone could never be prosecuted for most of his crimes. In 1926 he was arrested for the murder of three people but could not be held for more than a day due to insufficient evidence. However, Capone eventually had to serve a short sentence for having a gun in 1929. In 1930, the Al Capone biography came to a peak. He was in the prime of his power, headed a list of the world’s 28 worst criminals, and became “Public Enemy Number 1.”
