Former Chief of Staff to Mayor Eric Adams Arrested by FBI in Bribery Scheme

Former chief of staff to Mayor Eric Adams, Frank Carone, has been arrested by the FBI in connection with a bribery-related scheme, along with his brother and two others. The charges are being filed in New York's Eastern District, with more details expected to be revealed soon. Both the FBI and the prosecutor's office have declined to comment on the matter. Carone resigned from his position in December 2022, and earlier this year, it was reported that he was under federal investigation. Carone has denied any wrongdoing, attributing the scrutiny to his political connections and background as an Italian American from Canarsie with a Brooklyn accent.
