Summary
Federal agents and NYPD Internal Affairs investigators searched the homes of current and former police officials on Wednesday in a corruption inquiry that Commissioner Jessica Tisch said is ongoing.
Bribery allegations are at least part of the case, and people familiar with the matter said it grew out of earlier scrutiny of former NYPD chief Jeffrey Maddrey.
Maddrey's home was also searched Wednesday morning, but that raid was part of a separate investigation, according to people with knowledge of the matter.
The searches unfolded alongside the arrest of former Adams chief of staff Frank Carone, leaving 3 separate investigations centered on senior figures from Eric Adams's administration.
Maddrey resigned in December 2024 after a subordinate accused him of coercing her into sex, adding to the pressure around top Adams-era officials.
