Step 1 : Introduction to the question "What was Al Capone's nickname?"
On this day in 1931, gangster Al Capone was sentenced to 11 years in prison for tax evasion, signaling the downfall of one of the most notorious criminals of the 1920s and 1930s. Capone was expelled from school at 14, joined a gang and earned his nickname “Scarface” after being sliced across his left cheek during a fight. Capone rose to infamy as the leader of the Chicago mafia during the Prohibition era. Before being sent to Alcatraz Prison for a tax evasion conviction, he had amassed a personal fortune estimated at $100 million as the head of the infamous crime syndicate. Capone’s sentence was eventually reduced to six and a half years for good behavior.
