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. After a lot of thought they put him in jail for taxation, (I think it's spelt like that...) it means that Al Capone, the greatest of all gang leader got caught by not paying his taxes!
Al Capone was important to history because he was the biggers badest gangster of his time and was consitered a "crime boss"
They arrested Capone on tax evasion.
