On Oct. 17, 1931, infamous Chicago mobster Al Capone was convicted of income tax evasion and sentenced to 11 years in prison, according to PBS. Law enforcement officials had been trying to take Capone down for years but were never able to keep him behind bars for more than nine months, per the FBI. Gang warfare was not within the FBI’s jurisdiction at the time, so the bureau began investigating his finances, which led to Capone’s arrest.
