A lot of times in Media, Television, Movies, Games etc. you’ll see this leader of a huge crime organization where its shown that the government or law enforcement of that universe obviously know that they’re involved in illegal activity, but they “don’t have enough evidence to put them in jail” This is where my question comes in, what stops this government from just doing it anyway? If they obviously know they’re evil than why can’t they just stop them anyway, Its not like keeping them out of jail will be MORE helpful for the world?

You are basically asking why the government cannot commit unlawful action against their own people.
Functionally, they can and have done so. The government could disappear you overnight if they really wanted to. However, if the government makes this a common policy, then they may have to face the wrath of the people. This is specially the case with someone as high profile as a mob boss. It would hard to disappear them overnight.
In short, the government follows the laws so not encourage the people to rise against them.
