(excerpt)

SANTA MONICA, Calif. -- James "Whitey" Bulger, a notorious Boston gangster on the FBI's "Ten Most Wanted" list for his alleged role in 19 murders, was captured Wednesday near Los Angeles after living on the run for 16 years, authorities said.

Bulger, 81, was arrested along with his longtime girlfriend, 60-year-old Catherine Greig, in the early evening at a residence in Santa Monica, said a law enforcement official who was not authorized to speak publicly about the case. The arrest was based on a tip from the recent publicity campaign that federal authorities had regenerated, according to the official.

The two were arrested without incident, the FBI said. The FBI had been conducting a surveillance operation in the area where the arrest was made, Santa Monica police Sgt. Rudy Flores said.

FBI agents still swarmed around Bulger's building late Wednesday, hours after the arrests in a neighborhood of two and three-story apartment buildings. Bulger lived on the third floor of The Princess Eugenia, a three-story, 28-unit building of one and two-bedroom apartments three blocks from a bluff that overlooks the Pacific Ocean.

===========================================

Italy, my dyin ass.

Have fun in hell, Whitey.  Name some names and take down some crooked cops and politicians while you're at it, won't you?

Probably not a real big story outside of NE, but I said about time.  Now, if someone could connect Whitey to his brother, my day would be made.

I would opine that it's a bigger than New England story 1--because he was on the 10 Most Wanted for over a decade, 2--he had a lot of corrupt FBI guys covering his ass in the 80's and 90's, and who knows how much more corruption exists.

AKA the Corrupt Midget?  Former Speaker of the House in Tax achusetts?  Who receives a rather large pension from the long suffering fools of the Common Wealth?   Um, would that be Billy Bulger?

Why yes it wold be.  And he had no idea where his brother was or what type of business he was in all that time.  And he kept getting re-elected to public office.  what a fu*#% up state.

Hope Billy has time to spend catching up with his brother in a federal pen.

About time!!! I cannot believe he was on the run for so long. I though they would never catch him.
I worked in "Soutie", aka., South Boston for 15 years and used to go walking around Castle Island before work during the summer months. I used to see his brother Billy, every once in awhile there as well.
