A federal judge in Brooklyn tentatively set an August trial date in the corruption case against Frank Carone, a high-ranking member of former Mayor Eric Adams\u2019 administration, who was indicted last week in an alleged bribery scheme. <\/p>\n

U.S. District Judge Kiyo Matsumoto said the trial would commence in late summer, but acknowledged that the case\u2019s complexity could ultimately delay the start date.<\/p>\n

Assistant U.S. Attorney Sara Winik said the government plans to provide the defendants with a \u201cvoluminous\u201d amount of discovery, totaling millions of pages. <\/p>\n

The government is also in the process of extracting data from devices that law enforcement recently seized, Winik added.<\/p>\n

Still, a lawyer for Carone, Andrew Goldstein, pushed for the trial to begin \u201cas soon as possible,\u201d adding that the federal government has spent years \u201cdigging into every aspect of our client\u2019s life.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to push to keep the August trial date,\u201d Goldstein said. \u201cIf it moves, we are going to push to keep it as soon as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Federal prosecutors claim Carone, 56, the former chief of staff to New York\u2019s ex-mayor, accepted a series of bribes from a hotel owner in exchange for steering a multi-million dollar contract to operate the hotel as an emergency migrant shelter in 2022 at the height of the migrant crisis. <\/p>\n

Before Carone intervened, the hotel owner, Yan Po Zhu, was repeatedly rejected by city officials over the hotel\u2019s small size and location in Long Island City, prosecutors said. <\/p>\n

Zhu paid Frank Carone a total of $120,000 for the $6.8 million contract, according to the indictment. The top Eric Adams adviser then allegedly used the ill-gotten gains for his personal benefit, including paying off credit card bills. <\/p>\n

In order to conceal the scheme and hide the bribes, prosecutors say Zhu entered into a sham retainer agreement with Carone\u2019s younger brother, Anthony Carone, 54, who allegedly laundered the payments through his law firm. <\/p>\n

In 2022 alone, Anthony Carone funneled his brother $500,000 through his law firm bank account, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n

Anthony Carone, Zhu, and his business manager, Crystal Chen, were also named in the 13-count indictment. <\/p>\n
