'Mafia cops' are due out of jail
The "Mafia Cops" are going home.
Two ex-NYPD detectives accused of being hitman for the mob could walk out of jail as early as tomorrow after federal prosecutors in Brooklyn decided not to appeal a decision which gave them bail.
Louis Eppolito, 56, and Stephen Caracappa, 63, are scheduled to be in Brooklyn federal court Thursday at noon to have relatives sign various documents securing their bail bonds.
Both men were ordered released from pretrial detention earlier this month by Judge Jack B. Weinstein who set bail for each at $ 5 million. The bail is being secured by property they and relatives are posting.
Federal prosecutors filed a letter with the court late Tuesday saying they wouldn't appeal Weinstein's ruling, said a spokesman for the Brooklyn U.S. Attorneys Office.
