Alleged Mafia Cop Speaks Out

(CBS) Over the years, 60 Minutes has done its share of stories about police corruption, but none more outrageous than the one you’re about to hear: it’s the story of two New York City police officers who stand accused of being hired killers for the mafia.

Stephen Caraccappa and Louis Eppolito – two highly decorated former detectives – are set to go on trial next month, charged with the murders of 10 people, murders committed on the orders of a vicious mob boss.

For the first time, one of those detectives, Stephen Caracappa, who is free on bail, talks to correspondent Ed Bradley and answers the allegations that he betrayed his badge and became a mafia hitman.
