In a sweeping corruption investigation, Frank Carone, the former chief of staff to ex-New York City Mayor Eric Adams, has been indicted and arrested in connection with a $120,000 bribery scheme related to migrant housing. The FBI and NYPD have been conducting searches across the city, targeting several current and former high-ranking police officials as part of a joint probe into allegations of corruption within the police department. Alongside Carone, three others have been charged, with authorities executing search warrants at their homes. This operation underscores the escalating scrutiny of political and police corruption in New York City.
