Best Answer

The Untouchables were a group of federal agents, led by Elliot Ness who worked to stop Al Capone's illegal alcohol industry. It was comprised of eleven men, half of which worked to catch Capone in tax evasion, and half of which worked against his alcohol industry, raiding his breweries and stills. The nickname "The Untouchables" comes from an attempt by Capone to bribe Ness and his team. The attempted bribery was rejected and used as publicity for Ness's team. They were known for being fearless and incorruptible, thus earning their name "The Untouchables." Ness and his men were the ones to eventually put Capone behind bars in 1931 for tax evasion.
