Our Al Capone series: • The Scarface: Al Capone - Part 1: What... When Al Capone went to prison in 1931 and was sentenced to nearly 10 years, his organization, the Chicago Outfit, began to experience a leadership crisis. Capone's cousin, Frank Nitti, took over the flag for a while, but could not maintain its stability, and the Outfit came under the management of one of Capone's bloodiest hitmen, 'Joe Batters' Tony Accardo. Under Accardo's leadership, the Chicago Mafia would spread to many new areas, including Las Vegas, and become one of the most successful criminal organizations in the United States and history. 00:00 Intro 00:59 The Al Capone years 01:36 Capone's hit squad 02:44 The fall of Capone 03:10 Frank Nitti and Paul Ricca 05:58 The fall of Los Angeles & Nitti 08:00 The rise of Accardo 11:03 'Joe Batters' - Batter Joe 13:01 Accardo's leadership 14:49 Capone dies 15:48 The conquest of Las Vegas 18:25 Betting wars 20:01 Accardo the boss 21:16 Control of Chicago 22:29 The Sam Giancana era 24:05 The South Side mafia war 27:06 The fall of Giancana 29:31 The retirement years 30:02 The unluckiest thieves in the world ********************** Just As Soon by Kevin MacLeod, Creative Commons Attribution 4.0. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...
