Globe special reports
In 1988, an investigative series by the Globe Spotlight Team was the first published report to uncover the secret alliance between "Whitey" Bulger and the FBI. Since then, Globe reporters have remained at the forefront of the story, piecing together several vivid, long-form investigative reports that provide an excellent overview of the Bulger case.
The Bulger mystique
In 1988, the Globe Spotlight Team tackled the story of the Bulger brothers, two of Boston's most powerful and elusive figures: One a member of the state's political elite, the other the kingpin of the state's most notorious crime ring.

New tactics sped Bulger's fall
Following the 1995 indictment of Bulger and several of his associates on federal racketeering charges, the Spotlight Team explored the inside story of how investigators brought down Boston's most elusive criminal.
