BOSTON (AP) — Federal prosecutors are preparing to distribute nearly $822,000 seized from former crime boss James “Whitey” Bulger to the families of his murder victims and people he extorted.
Prosecutors recently filed documents in federal court indicating that Bulger’s cash, guns, jewelry and other items are in the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service in preparation for a final forfeiture order.
They were taken from Bulger’s California apartment.
The 84-year-old Bulger was sentenced Nov. 14 to life in prison.
He was found guilty in August by a jury in 11 killings, along with dozens of other crimes, including shakedowns.
