FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda BOSTON (AP) — The longtime girlfriend of reputed Boston mob boss James “Whitey” Bulger is expected to plead guilty Wednesday to charges she helped Bulger evaded capture during 16 years on the run.
In a deal with prosecutors, Catherine Greig will plead guilty to charges of conspiracy to harbor a fugitive, identity fraud and conspiracy to commit identity fraud.
Bulger has pleaded not guilty to charges accusing him of participating in 19 murders. Greig was captured with Bulger last year in Santa Monica, Calif.
Each of the charges carries a maximum sentence of five years, but prosecutors told families of people believed killed by Bulger that Greig could face as little as 32 months in prison under federal sentencing guidelines.
Greig’s plea agreement doesn’t require her to testify against Bulger.
Under the agreement, prosecutors have agreed not to charge her with any additional offenses. Prosecutors said in the agreement that they won’t make a sentencing recommendation to the judge.
In a statement of facts signed by Greig and filed in court Monday, Greig acknowledged that she agreed to join Bulger on the run beginning in early 1995.
She also acknowledged that she agreed to conceal him from authorities for 16 years, used aliases and unlawfully obtained identification documents, and repeatedly helped him obtain prescription medication from a pharmacy by claiming to be his wife.
“I engaged in conduct that was intended to help Bulger avoid detection from law enforcement and to provide him with support and assistance during his flight from law enforcement,” the document states.
Bulger, now 82, headed the notorious Winter Hill Gang and also was a longtime FBI informant who gave the agency information on the rival New England Mafia. Bulger’s former FBI handler, John Connolly Jr., was convicted of warning him that he was about to be indicted, prompting him to flee Boston in late 1994.
Bulger and Greig were caught in June, just days after the FBI began a new publicity campaign focusing on Greig and aimed at a female audience. The FBI said on Greig’s wanted poster that she frequented beauty salons and had well-kept teeth and multiple plastic surgeries. The Boston Globe has reported that the tipster who reported the couple’s whereabouts was a woman from Iceland who spent months at a time in Santa Monica and had bonded with Greig over a stray cat.
The 60-year-old Greig, a former dental hygienist, has been held in jail since her arrest. During a bail hearing in July, her lawyer described her as a subservient woman who was in love with Bulger and unaware of the extent of his crimes when she fled with him.
