More than 60 current and former NYCHA workers have been busted in a bribe-and-extortion scheme that authorities say involves the largest
number of federal bribery charges in a single day in Department of Justice history.
The suspects — accused of accepting cash payments from contractors in
exchange for lucrative New York City Housing Authority contracts — were
hauled off in handcuffs in a widespread raid Tuesday morning, according to
the Southern District of New York.
The charges may be linked to “micro-purchase” projects, or contracts for smaller repairs and other construction at city housing developments,
sources told The Post.
As long as city contracts are worth under an estimated $10,000, local development managers can award them without going through the public
bidding process — a system ripe for such potential corruption, sources
said.
