Two high-ranking New York Fire Department chiefs, Brian E. Cordasco and Anthony M. Saccavino, were arrested on bribery and corruption charges for taking nearly $100,000 each to expedite safety inspections, highlighting issues of systemic corruption within the department.
The FBI investigation has been ongoing for several months, focusing on alleged payment schemes to bypass safety protocols. This incident adds strain not only on the Fire Department but also on the administration of Mayor Eric Adams, who faces ongoing scrutiny from multiple federal probes.
