Who led a team of Chicago law enforcement agents nicknamed “The Untouchables”?
Eliot Ness
Wyatt Earp
Butch Cassidy
Billy the Kid
Eliot Ness was a law enforcement official in Chicago, best known for his efforts to enforce Prohibition. Ness assembled a team of Prohibition enforcement personnel known as “The Untouchables” to combat the activities of gangster Al Capone. An attempt by Capone to bribe Ness’s agents was seized on by Ness for publicity, leading to the media nickname “The Untouchables.” Ness is often recognized for destroying the multimillion-dollar breweries operated by Al Capone, and was instrumental in ceasing the power Capone had over the city of Chicago.
The correct answer is Eliot Ness.
