A review by the United States Department of Justice has found that a number of government missteps contributed to the murder of incarcerated Boston mobster and former FBI informant James “Whitey” Bulger in 2018 after he was transferred to a high-security prison.In an internal report released on Wednesday, the department’s inspector general, Michael Horowitz, said that “bureaucratic incompetence” surrounded Bulger’s transfer to a US penitentiary in West Virginia, where he was beaten to death within 24 hours of his arrival.The report recommended disciplinary action for six US Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) workers but did not find evidence of criminal wrongdoing.
