A reference to Al Capone, a notorious gangster who controlled organized crime in Chicago during the 1920s-30s.
Surname of Alphonse Gabriel Capone (1899-1947), Italian-American criminal. The name 'Capone' comes from Italian origins. His name became so famous that it's sometimes used colloquially to refer to any powerful crime boss.
Al Capone was brought down not by gunfights but by accountants—the FBI couldn't prove his murders, so they convicted him of tax evasion, proving that sometimes the most powerful criminals are defeated by paperwork, not action movies.
