Four charged in alleged bribery scheme involving New York City migrant shelter contract

The DOJ said a 13-count indictment charges Anthony J. Carone, Frank V. Carone, Crystal Chen and Yan Po Zhu with fraud, bribery, money laundering, obstruction of justice and tax fraud. The indictment alleges that public influence was used to steer a multimillion-dollar migrant shelter contract and that cash bribes were paid and used for personal expenses.

All four defendants were arrested and are due to be arraigned. The charges are allegations; no convictions or settlements were reported in the source material.
