Indicted in March 2005 with his retired partner
Louis Eppolito for providing information about key witnesses and confidential informants to the Lucchese crime family. They were also charged with carrying out mob murders and turning over individuals to the crime family's boss, who called Eppolito and Caracappa "my crystal ball." The two former NYPD detectives were found guilty in April 2006. The conviction was overturned on a technicality, then reinstated on appeal in 2008. In 2009 he was sentenced to life plus 100 years in prison.
