The Chicago Outfit is a criminal organization founded in Chicago, USA, in the early 20th century. It emerged after the death of mobster Big Jim Colosimo in 1920 and grew during Prohibition (1920-1933), when selling alcohol was illegal.

Its most famous leader was Al Capone, who turned the Chicago Outfit into a powerful crime empire. They controlled alcohol smuggling, illegal gambling, extortion, and murders. They used violence to eliminate rivals, like in the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre (1929), where they killed members of Bugs Moran’s gang.

After Al Capone, the organization remained active and expanded into drugs, casinos, and other illegal businesses. It still exists today, but with less power.

The Peaky Blinders were a gang from Birmingham, England, active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They became famous for their violence, illegal betting, and smuggling. Their name comes from the idea that they sewed razor blades into their caps to use as weapons, though this is more of a legend than a fact.

During the period 1918-1939, Birmingham was full of crime, and the Peaky Blinders had many rivals. However, by the 1920s, their power had already started to decline, and another gang, the Birmingham Boys, took control.

The Peaky Blinders became more famous recently because of the TV series Peaky Blinders, which tells a fictionalized version of their story, focusing on Tommy Shelby, a smart and ambitious leader.

Eliot Ness was a police officer in the 1920s. Chicago was controlled by Al Capone, a man who did illegal things like selling alcohol and gambling. Many police officers worked with Capone, but Eliot Ness was honest.

He made a team called "The Untouchables" because they didn’t take money from criminals. They tried to stop Capone by closing his illegal alcohol businesses, but it was hard to catch him.

Finally, in 1931, Capone was caught for not paying taxes. He went to prison for 11 years. Ness helped catch him, and later his story became famous in a movie called The Untouchables.

The "Llei Seca" (Dry Law) is a rule that prohibits (does not allow) the sale, production, and transport of alcohol.

One of the most famous examples was in the United States between 1920 and 1933. During this time, the government banned alcohol because they thought it caused problems in society, like crime and violence.

One day, Al Capone and Frank Nitti were in a restaurant in Chicago. Capone was eating his favorite meal: spaghetti with meatballs. Suddenly, a man came in with a gun. He wanted to kill Capone!

Before the man could shoot, Frank Nitti grabbed the gun and pushed the man to the floor. The other gangsters in the restaurant helped and took the man away.

Capone was very happy. He laughed and said:
"Frank, you saved my life! You get a free dinner tonight!"

After that, Capone trusted Nitti even more, and Nitti became one of the most important men in the Chicago mafia.
