Untouchables
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.
Elliot Ness died of a heart attack on May 16, 1957, at the age of 54. He had struggled with alcoholism in his later years, which likely contributed to his health issues. Ness is best known for his role in leading a team of law enforcement officers known as "The Untouchables" in bringing down Al Capone during the Prohibition era.
They didn't...The Untouchables was a book written Oscar Fraley w/ Elliot Ness which lavishly embellished his (Ness) role in bringing Capone down. Ness had a big ego & probably wanted to make some money . The real person (s) that brought down Capone were Elmer Irey (Treasury agent) and George E. Q. Johnson (U.S. Attorney).
