Carone Indicted in Migrant Hotel Bribery Case

Frank Carone, former chief of staff to Mayor Eric Adams, is facing federal charges for allegedly accepting over $100K in bribes to help a Queens hotel secure a migrant housing contract in 2022. His brother, hotel owner Yan Po Zhu, and others are also indicted on bribery, fraud, and money laundering charges. Carone’s defense calls the case weak and built on circumstantial evidence, while Adams’ office stands by his public service record. Meanwhile, separate federal raids target current and former NYPD leaders in a different bribery probe — unrelated to Carone’s case.
