Federal prosecutors have launched an investigation into Monsignor Jamie Gigantiello of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, amid possible business dealings with Frank Carone, former chief-of-staff to Mayor Eric Adams. This inquiry follows the issuance of a subpoena related to a corporate entity they jointly own, which is implicated in a civil lawsuit alleging insurance fraud. While they are not accused of wrongdoing, the situation warrants close scrutiny as legal proceedings develop.
A spokesperson for the Diocese of Brooklyn stated, 'We cannot confirm or deny receipt of a subpoena. What I can say is the Diocese is fully committed to cooperating with law enforcement in all investigations, including of conduct at individual parishes or involving any priest.' This indicates the diocese's intention to maintain transparency and adherence to legal standards during the investigation.
