One of the most wanted men in the US,James 'Whitey' Bulger,has ben arrested in California.In 1995, authorities say, Bulger, now 81, was leader of the Winter Hill Gang and an FBI informant for 20 years when he suddenly disappeared, after a tip from an FBI contact former agent John Connolly that he was about to be charged with racketeering.
Bulger was arrested along with his longtime girlfriend, 60-year-old Catherine Greig, in the early evening at a residence in Santa Monica, Calif. The arrest was based on a tip from a recent publicity campaign by federal authorities, according to the official.
The 81 year old was being sought by the FBI for his alleged :hitman: role in 19 murders.For all you movie fans out there the inspiration for the gangster movie THE DEPARTED was based on this guy ,with Jack Nichilson playing a role something similar to Bulgers life.
