Ness vs. Capone

Ness vs. Capone refers to the legal efforts by Eliot Ness to bring down Al Capone, the notorious gangster during Prohibition. Ness, as a federal agent, aimed to arrest Capone for his criminal activities, especially tax evasion. Despite difficulties, Ness and his team used innovative investigative techniques, like the use of federal agents and financial scrutiny, to build a case. Ultimately, Capone was convicted of tax evasion in 1931, demonstrating that even the most powerful criminal bosses could be prosecuted through meticulous law enforcement efforts.
