He was in Alcatraz because he sold bootleg beer, sold drugs and had prostitutes everywhere on the streets, although his conviction was for tax evasion and failing to file tax returns.

Who sent al Capone to jail?

santa claus

Did Eliot Ness ever actually meet Al Capone?

Yes, he did. once when they escorted Al Capone to the train taking Capone to Jail. Ness was responsible for raids on breweries. Capone was convicted for tax evasion - a different team than what Ness was part of.


Why was it so hard to put Al Capone in jail?

no one had any solid proof that Al Capone did murder all those people, or smuggled all those booz. For people who did see, Al Capone's men would bribe them, even officers! Later when Police finally caught him, they couldn't really put him in prison for what they suspected him of. After a lot of thought they put him in jail for taxation, (I think it's spelt like that...) it means that Al Capone, the greatest of all gang leader got caught by not paying his taxes!
