15. Ironically, Capone's Brother Was Actually A Prohibition Enforcement Officer
Al Capone was one of Gabriele Capone and Teresina Raiola's nine children - with his brother James (who was seven years his elder) eventually becoming a Prohibition agent. Having moved to Homer, Nebraska, James Capone changed his name to "Richard Hart" and became a federal enforcement agent during the Prohibition era. Ironic or what?
