The chief of staff of former New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been charged with accepting $120,000 in bribes in exchange for directing a city homeless shelter contract to a Queens hotel owner, according to an indictment unsealed on Wednesday.
Frank Carone worked as Adams’s chief of staff during his first year in office and was a close adviser who helped fundraise for the mayor’s failed reelection bid last year.
