On June 5, 1931, a grand jury indicted Capone on twenty two counts of tax evasion totaling over 200,000. Eliot Ness and his team gave evidence on Capone's bootlegging operations, but the income tax cases took precedence over the Prohibition cases. The Prohibition cases were kept as a back up, just in case Capone gets out of the tax evasion charges. Capone and sixty eight members of his gang were charged with over 5,000 violations towards the Volstead Act going back to 1922. Capone was facing up to 34 years in jail if he was convicted.
Capone was facing a possible 34 years in jail if the government completely won its case. Capones lawyers presented the U.S. Attorney Johnson with a deal. Capone would plead guilty for a relatively light sentence. Johnson took the deal and agreed to recommend a two-and-a-half-year sentence. The government had some concerns about its witnesses living to testify, plus the upholding of the statute of limitations by the Supreme Court. The press was outraged that Capone would get off with such a light sentence.
Capone went into the courtroom on June 16 a fairly happy man. When Capone pleaded guilty, Judge Wilkerson adjourned the hearing until June 30. Capone told the press he was entertaining offers from the movie studios to make a film of his life. He was in excellent spirits when he appeared for sentencing in front of Wilkerson at the end of the month. Capone was connived of the charges and was sentenced to 11 years in prison, with 50, 000 fines and court cost of another 30,000, bail was denied. The government decided not to prosecute Capone on the prohibition charges that Ness and the untouchables worked so hard to process. On May 1932, The Untouchables escorted Al "Scar Face" Capone to Atlanta penitentiary. The last words Capone said to Eliot Ness was "Well, I'm on my way to do eleven years...I've got to do it, that's all. I'm not sore at anybody. Some people are lucky. I wasn't. There was too much overhead in my business anyhow, paying off all the time and replacing trucks and breweries. They ought to make it legitimate." and Eliot Ness told him "If it was legitimate, you certainly wouldn't want
