| Abstract: | The article focuses on the federal indictment and arrest of Frank Carone, a former chief of staff to New York City Mayor Eric Adams, and others in a bribery and money laundering scheme related to city contracts for migrant shelters. Carone and co-defendants, including his brother Anthony Carone, hotel owner Yan Po Zhu, and employee Crystal Chen, are charged with exploiting federal funds intended for migrant services by steering a $6.8 million contract to Zhu’s hotel in exchange for approximately $120,000 in bribes disguised as legal fees. The indictment alleges that the scheme involved pressuring city officials to reverse an initial contract rejection and laundering payments through accounts controlled by the Carone brothers. The case also references a former city official who reconsidered the contract decision and later joined Carone’s consulting firm, Oaktree Solutions. [Extracted from the article] |
