Three men have been indicted on multiple felony charges in connection with the 2018 murder of Boston crime boss James “Whitey” Bulger while he was an inmate in a federal prison.
Fotios “Freddy” Geas, 55, Paul “Pauly” DeCologero, 48, and Sean McKinnon, 36, were charged Wednesday with conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, the Department of Justice (DOJ) said in a news release.
Geas and DeCologero are accused of striking Bulger in the head multiple times, leading to his death, in October 2018 while imprisoned at U.S. Penitentiary Hazelton in Bruceton Mills, West Virginia.
Bulger, 89, had been transferred there a day earlier in a wheelchair.
