Whitey Bulger moved to Brooklyn federal lockup
BOSTON— Convicted Boston crime boss James “Whitey” Bulger has been moved out of Massachusetts to a federal lock-up in Brooklyn, according to the website of the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
Bulger, 84, had been held at the Plymouth County House of Correction since his capture in Santa Monica, Calif., in 2011 after more than 16 years as a fugitive.
Bulger was sentenced by a federal judge earlier this month to two consecutive life sentences plus five years. In August, a jury found him guilty in 11 of the 19 killings he was accused of, along with dozens of other gangland crimes, including shakedowns and money laundering.
