Al Capone\u2019s 80-year-old great-niece says she believes the legend that $100 million of the Chicago mobster\u2019s money may be stashed somewhere but said knowledge of the location died with him.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf it\u2019s anywhere it would be Chicago,\u201d Deirdre Capone told the Sun.<\/a> \u201cI also believe they have a lot of dealings in Cuba. I believe a lot of money was in safety deposit boxes in Cuba. But I have to let that be now.\u201d<\/p>\n

She told the Sun from her home in Florida that she\u2019s \u201cprobably the last person on this Earth\u201d to have really known him. She spoke of a new movie about her beloved \u201cUncle Al\u201d being released on\u00a0Netflix\u00a0this week.<\/p>\n

British actor Tom Hardy, complete with prosthetics, stars in the biopic \u201cCapone.\u201d<\/p>\n

Deirdre, who was 7 when Capone died following a stroke in January, 1947, says the gangster had a sweet side and liked to teach her how to make spaghetti.<\/p>\n

Al Capone was her grandfather Ralph\u2019s younger brother.<\/p>\n

Ralph was nicknamed \u201cBottles\u201d for his role in the Capone bootleg empire, the Chicago Outfit, which made its fortune during Prohibition. Deirdre said Ralph was in charge but Al was the front man.<\/p>\n

\u201cAl loved the limelight, loved to be out with a beautiful woman on his arm. My grandfather hated it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

She insisted her relatives had nothing to do with the 1929 St. Valentine\u2019s Day Massacre, in which seven rival mobsters were killed giving Al Capone the title of \u201cPublic Enemy No 1.\u201d<\/p>\n

Capone wound up in Alcatraz and Deirdre says he loathed his stint in the island prison. \u201cHe couldn\u2019t talk about it, it was so horrific,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

Hardy portrays Capone in the period after his release from the prison \u2014 the last years of his life. The mobster died on January 25, 1947 at age 48.<\/p>\n

According to the movie, Capone is beset with dementia, with the mental age of a 12-year-old.<\/p>\n

Deirdre agrees that by the time he was released his mental state had deteriorated shockingly, but insists this was due to mercury injections she claims were given to him to treat syphilis.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
