Frank Carone, the former chief of staff to New York City Mayor Eric Adams, is arrested as part of federal corruption investigations, according to multiple reports. ABC News and Bloomberg say prosecutors in Brooklyn charge Carone in connection with an alleged bribery scheme, and cite sources familiar with the case. The New York Post also reports that Carone is taken into custody Wednesday and that federal agents conduct raids involving Carone and several former New York Police Department officials. Bloomberg adds that the case involves multiple defendants, including Carone’s brother and two other people, and that federal prosecutors pursue the matter as a broader set of corruption probes related to the New York Police Department and figures associated with Adams. The reports describe the actions as occurring Wednesday morning and attribute key details to people familiar with the matter, rather than to court filings in the summaries provided. Across outlets, the central points are that Carone is arrested, federal authorities are involved, and the allegations concern bribery tied to corruption concerns in connection with Adams’ circle and the NYPD.
