Adams' former chief of staff was arrested on bribery charges as part of an expanding corruption investigation into the former mayor's inner circle. Multiple allies have now been indicted in separate probes.
Frank Carone, who served as Mayor Eric Adams' chief of staff, was arrested on federal bribery charges. He's the latest ally of Adams to face indictment as the corruption investigation into the mayor's inner circle expands. Multiple members of Adams' team have now been charged in separate probes.
When the people around a leader get indicted in sequence, it suggests a pattern rather than isolated bad actors. Adams himself hasn't been charged, but his closest advisors are falling. That's typically how these cases develop—charges work outward from the center. The investigation is still active, which means more arrests are possible.
