No US charges against Bulger
Long probe is said to reach an end

By Shelley Murphy, Globe Staff | April 4, 2007

Federal prosecutors have decided not to seek criminal charges against
William M. Bulger, marking the end of a six-year investigation into
whether the former president of the Massachusetts Senate and the
University of Massachusetts obstructed efforts to capture his gangster
brother, James "Whitey" Bulger, according to two sources familiar with
the investigation.

The US attorney's office let the clock run out this week on a federal
grand jury in Boston investigating whether William Bulger had committed
perjury or obstruction of justice, concluding that there wasn't enough
evidence to seek indictments and take a case to trial, the sources said.

US Attorney Michael J. Sullivan could not be reached yesterday, and his
chief of staff, Robert Krekorian, declined to comment on the end of the
investigation.
