Criminal Record | George “Bugs” Moran's Deadly Legacy of Crime @CriminalRecord_ | Uploaded November 2023 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
George "Bugs" Moran, a notorious gangster during Prohibition, played a significant role in Chicago's criminal underworld, known for his rivalry with Al Capone. Born on August 21, 1891, in Minnesota, Moran joined the ranks of organized crime as a young man, affiliating with various gangs. His notoriety grew during the Prohibition era when he became a prominent figure in bootlegging and illegal alcohol distribution.
As the leader of the North Side Gang, Bugs Moran engaged in bitter turf wars with Al Capone's South Side Gang over control of Chicago's illegal liquor trade, leading to the infamous St. Valentine's Day Massacre.
On February 14, 1929, the North Side Gang fell victim to one of the most notorious incidents in gangland history. In what became known as the St. Valentine's Day Massacre, seven of Moran's associates were brutally gunned down, allegedly orchestrated by Al Capone.
The St. Valentine's Day Massacre marked the beginning of Moran's decline. Despite his involvement in various criminal activities, he faced several arrests but was never convicted for the massacre. His influence waned in the 1930s, and he served time in prison for bank robbery.
