Editing Johnny Torrio (section)

==Assassination attempt and handover to Capone==
In January 1925, Capone was ambushed, leaving him shaken but unhurt. Twelve days later, on January 24, Torrio and his wife Anna were ambushed outside their home by Weiss, Drucci, and Moran. Torrio was shot several times and nearly killed. After recovering, he effectively resigned, handed control of the gang to Capone, and fled to New York.<ref>{{cite book|last=Sifakis|first=Carl|title=The Mafia Encyclopedia, 2nd ed.|publisher=Checkmark Books|year=1999|page=362}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|author-link=Gus Russo|last=Russo|first=Gus|title=The Outfit|publisher=Bloomsbury|year=2001|pages=39, 40}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last=Newton-Maza|first=Mitchell|title=Disasters and Tragic Events|page=258|year=2014}}</ref><ref name=Binder-2017/>

In late 1925, Torrio moved to Italy with his wife and mother, where he no longer dealt directly with the mob business. He gave total control of the Outfit to Capone and said, "It's all yours, Al. Me? I'm quitting. It's Europe for me."<ref name="Paul Sann">{{cite book|last=Sann|first=Paul|title=The Lawless Decade: Bullets, Broads and Bathtub Gin|publisher=Courier Corporation|year=1957|page=111}}</ref> Torrio left a criminal empire which grossed about $70,000,000 a year ($1,241,304,000 in 2024 dollars) from bootleg liquor, gambling and prostitution.<ref name = "Paul Sann"/>
