A former chief of staff to ex-New York Mayor Eric Adams, Frank Carone, and three others were arrested and charged in a federal bribery probe. The indictment alleges a $120,000 scheme involving cash bribes tied to a migrant shelter contract and also names Carone's brother and a Queens hotel owner. Carone pleaded not guilty to counts including conspiracy, bribery, fraud and obstruction. The case extends federal scrutiny into Adams' inner circle months after he left office.
