Boss Chicago Chief Gangs Gangster Gangsters Interview Interviewed Interviewing Pointing Questioned Capone Mafia
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the moment when infamous American gangster Al Capone was interrogated by Chicago police officers in the 1930s. Known for his involvement in organized crime and gangland violence, Capone was infamously evasive when it came to questions about his role in the underworld. Here, he is seen offering his standard response to enquiries about his involvement in gang-related slaughter: "I know nothing about it, Chief." The image is all the more intriguing with the inclusion of a portrait of Big Jim Colosimo and his wife, shortly after their marriage, at the bottom of the photograph. Colosimo was an Italian-American mobster who ruled Chicago's criminal underworld in the early 1900s before being assassinated in 1925. Capone, who was once Colosimo's bodyguard, took over the Chicago Outfit after his boss's death. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the era of organized crime in the United States during the 1930s, a time when gangsters like Capone held significant power and influence in American society. The image, which is believed to have been taken during an interview or questioning session, offers a rare glimpse into the world of the Chicago Mafia during this period.
