Former Adams aide indicted in bribery over migrant housing funds
TL;DR
Former New York City mayor Eric Adams’s chief of staff Frank Carone, his brother Anthony Carone, and two others were indicted on bribery, wire fraud and obstruction charges in a case alleging they steered federal funds for emergency migrant housing to a Queens hotel. The indictment says $120,000 was paid to Carone via his brother’s law firm to secure a multimillion-dollar shelter contract for the Microtel Inn by Wyndham, part of a federal grant program to house migrants; Carone’s lawyers say the evidence is circumstantial and he helped navigate the migrant crisis, not grant the contract.
