Adams Chief of Staff Charged in Federal Bribery Probe
Frank Carone, former chief of staff to ex-New York Mayor Eric Adams, has been arrested and charged with bribery. Prosecutors allege Carone accepted over $100,000 in payoffs to steer a lucrative migrant shelter contract to an unsuitable hotel. This indictment marks the latest in ongoing federal scrutiny of Adams’ former associates. Separately, federal authorities searched the homes of current and former NYPD leaders in connection with an unrelated bribery investigation.
