FBI files on murdered Boston mob boss 'Whitey' Bulger declassified
Fox News
The FBI recently made public 300 pages of documents detailing past investigations into reputed Boston mob boss and serial killer James "Whitey" Bulger dating back to the 1970s.
The documents detail investigative methods used by the FBI, including monitoring phone conversations, WCVB reported. The FBI had also instructed an informant to leave debts unpaid to Bulger’s mostly Irish mob, and Bulger "slapped around" that informant, who FBI investigators said was "in constant fear of his life" and agreed to wear a recording device and testify in court, the Boston Herald reported. Bulger, the ruthless leader who was at the helm of the South Boston-based Winter Hill Gang, was convicted in 2013 for his involvement in a slew of crimes, including 11 murders. Still, no one has been charged in connection to Bulger’s death on Oct. 30, 2018, at a federal prison in West Virginia.More Related News
