Mob cops plead not guilty

Mob cops plead not guilty



I suppose calling them "mob cops" in the headline could be considered prejudicial.

Two former New York City police detectives accused of being hit men for the Mafia more than 20 years ago pleaded not guilty at their Brooklyn federal court arraignment Thursday on charges that included murder, drug distribution and money laundering.



According to an indictment from a federal grand jury in Brooklyn, Stephen Caracappa and Louis Eppolito routinely passed confidential law enforcement information to the mob and killed rival gangsters.

But since one of them wrote a book called, uh, "Mafia Cop," I suppose I can get away with it.
