Former Adams aide indicted in bribery over migrant housing funds

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.
