Federal prosecutors have taken a significant step in their ongoing investigation into corruption in New York City's migrant housing system. Former Mayor Eric Adams' top adviser, Frank Carone, has been indicted on charges related to a bribery scheme involving migrant housing contracts. The indictment alleges that Carone, a longtime associate of the mayor, accepted bribes from a real estate developer in exchange for helping secure lucrative contracts to house migrants in city-funded facilities. The move marks a major escalation in the federal investigation, which has been scrutinizing the Adams administration's handling of migrant housing and potential corruption among its officials.
