Catherine Greig Officially Charged for Harboring James 'Whitey' Bulger

Catherine Greig, the woman who lived a secret life on the lam with reputed South Boston mob boss James "Whitey" Bulger for 16 years, was officially charged in federal court Thursday for harboring and concealing a fugitive, according to a press announcement from the United States Attorney's office.

Greig, if convicted, faces up to five years in prison followed by three years of supervised release and a $250,000 fine, according to the announcement.

Prosecutors allege that Greig conspired to keep Bulger concealed from authorities since 1995. Bulger, who is on trial in connection to 19 murders, among other alleged offenses, was one of the FBI's top fugitives until his capture on June 22.
