He established monopolies over criminal activities in various cities and states, and divided up territories across the U.S. at a national crime convention. Capone innovated the use of modern technology and business tactics to eliminate competition and ensure efficient bootlegging operations.

While the public both admired and feared Capone, his criminal empire indirectly contributed to the repeal of Prohibition.
Gangsters and Bootleggers in the 1920s
Gangsters made huge profits during Prohibition by smuggling alcohol into the United States through bootlegging and rum-running. Famous gangsters like Al Capone in Chicago and Nucky Johnson in Atlantic City became powerful through illegally supplying alcohol and other illegal activities. While gangsters broke the law, they were often popular within their communities for helping ordinary citizens and gaining political power and influence that allowed their criminal operations to continue.
Mafia
The Chicago Outfit was led by Alfonso "Scarface" Capone, who was the head of organized crime in Chicago during Prohibition. Capone made most of his money smuggling alcohol into the US when it was illegal. He was behind notorious crimes like the 1929 St. Valentine's Day Massacre, where Capone's gang dressed as police and killed six members of a rival gang. Though a notorious criminal, Capone presented himself as a loving family man. He was ultimately convicted of tax evasion and sent to prison.

Prohibition was the period from 1920-1933 when the sale and consumption of alcohol was banned in the United States by the 18th Amendment. This amendment was later repealed by the 21st Amendment, making it the only amendment to be repealed.
