The trial of accused mobster James "Whitey" Bulger, who evaded the FBI for 16 years before his arrest in 2011, is due to begin in Boston.

The capture of notorious mobster James "Whitey" Bulger sent a wave of mixed emotions through residents of the accused killer’s former stomping ground.

The return to Boston of gangster James "Whitey" Bulger awas met on Friday with high security at a courthouse not even built when he fled the city.

Despite sightings around the world, the fugitive who inspired a character in a Scorsese film was finally undone by a TV ad.
