Capone solution for graft? | Business | M&G

Some justice: Al Capone, the notorious gangster in the United States, could not be pinned down for murder, but he was sent to prison for tax evasion. In 1931 the notorious United States gangster Al Capone was sent to prison for 11 years after he was found guilty of tax evasion.

He was released after he spent seven years, six months and 15 days in the infamous prison on Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay and had paid all of his fines and back taxes.Although Capone was allegedly behind criminal activities such as the St Valentine’s Day Massacre, where seven members or associates of the rival Bugs Moran mob were machine-gunned against a garage wall by Capone’s men posing as police, he was ultimately nailed not for murder but for unpaid taxes.

It was reported at the weekend that the South African Revenue Service is investigating ANC big brass named in evidence to the Zondo commission by Bosasa insiders, such as Angelo Agrizzi.Among those named in the Zondo testimony are Environmental Affairs Minister Nomvula Mokonyane, ANC MP Vincent Smith, former SAA chairperson and current Jacob Zuma Foundation chairperson Dudu Myeni and former prisons boss Linda Mti.
