How did huge mob bosses that “everybody knew” was a mob boss, or criminal running the place, etc, get away with it?

_Knowing_ something is one thing – _proving_ that thing in a court of law is another.
Mob bosses were very careful to not commit any crimes themselves; instead, they had their crews commit those crimes. Sure, they _directed_ those crews, but they were also very careful to not have those directions documented or easily discovered. So we _knew_ that Capone was running the mob in Chicago, but there wasn’t any actual _evidence_ linking him to those activities.
