NEW YORK (AP) — A chief of staff to former New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been charged with accepting more than $100,000 in bribes to steer a city contract for emergency housing for migrants to a Queens hotel, according a federal indictment unsealed Wednesday.
The indictment lodges multiple charges of bribery, wire fraud, money laundering and other crimes against Frank Carone, along with his brother Anthony Carone as well as a Queens hotel owner Yan Po Zhu and Crystal Chen, an employee of the hotel.
They were expected to appear in federal court in Brooklyn on Wednesday afternoon.
Prosecutors said Frank Carone, in his capacity as Adams’ chief of staff, accepted a series of bribes from Zhu and Chen in order to steer a multimillion dollar shelter contract to their hotel.
