On this D for Dirty Cops episode we talk about how Louis Eppolito and Stephen Caracappa were kept on retainer to provide confidential information to the Lucchese family. In addition to obstructing the NYPD’s investigations, Lou and Steve gave up the identities of confidential informants that resulted in many people being murdered. Eventually their bosses turned informant, & they were convicted of 8 murders.
