While serving as former Mayor Eric Adams' right-hand man in City Hall, Frank Carone steered a multi-million dollar shelter contract to a Queens hotel owner in exchange for $120,000 in bribes concealed as "sham" legal fees, according to a corruption indictment unsealed by federal prosecutors Wednesday.
The indictment, brought by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York, marks the latest bombshell to rock Adams' inner circle after his single term in office was marred by scandal.
