“I make my money by supplying a public demand. If I break the law, my customers, who number hundreds of the best people in Chicago, are as guilty as I am. Everybody calls me a racketeer. I call myself a businessman.” Bootlegger Al Capone

 UBFo UBFo  Perfect representation of Prohibition-era crime

 The systematically unlawful activity for profit on a city-wide, interstate, and even international scale  These organizations kept their illegal operations secret and instructions were spread by word of mouth  The groups gained power through the bribery, blackmail and cultivation of mutually dependent relationships with police, mayor, and other city officials

 Consisted of several covert operations in Sicily and USA  Origins go back to the vigilantes who protected the villagers during the Spanish occupation of Sicily  Mafia started in America because Sicilians were scared of the racism towards them and the lack of police protection  The word ‘Mafia’ has transformed over the years to represent any significant racketeering organization.

 Government did not give cities and states enough funding to enforce new prohibition laws  People wanted liquor… the tea party evolved into the cocktail party  Crime evolved from something that happened in rural or far away places to the urbanites’ doorsteps.

 Liquor was transported across the Canadian and Mexican -good clip of this is in the movie The Untouchables Put link for movie here  Urban centers across the nation:  Most Well-Known ▪ Chicago ▪ New York ▪ Detroit

 North Side Gang led by Dion O’Banion  “The Outfit” Chicago Mafia led by Al Capone  The Notorious Purple Gang- All Jewish Gangin Detroit  Owney “The Killer” Madden Ring of New York

 An example of the numerous gang battles that were widespread throughout the country  South Side Italians led by Al Capone vs. the North Side Irish led by Bugs Moran  Chicago, Winter of 1929  Seven dead  These types of conflicts were rampant and so well planned that convictions were nearly impossible to come by.

 Prohibition repealed in 1933  Gangs shifted their focus to other illegal operations of gambling, narcotic trafficking, and labor racketeering
