Al Capone's wealth was generated through illegal enterprises, such as gambling and prostitution, Most of it was from liquor sales as it was during the Prohibition and illegal.
What the sent him to prison for was income tax evasion and other violations of the Volstead Act.
Al Capone was put in jail for Tax Evasion~ the government knew he was getting lots of income (alcohol and prostitution) and they had to try and pin in all back to him (thats why it took so long). Even though he had committed murders and was selling illegal alcohol they could only put him in jail for Tax Evasion.
Any crime that was around to be committed, the Americans had banned alcohol at this point, so he was a drinker and a drug taker

no one had any solid proof that Al Capone did murder all those people, or smuggled all those booz. For people who did see, Al Capone's men would bribe them, even officers! Later when Police finally caught him, they couldn't really put him in prison for what they suspected him of.
