FBI Investigates FDNY Chiefs' Homes in Corruption Probe

The FBI conducted searches at the homes and offices of two senior New York Fire Department chiefs as part of a corruption investigation into whether they improperly accepted payments related to building inspections. The investigation, which began last summer, involves the FBI, the U.S. attorney’s office for the Southern District of New York, and the New York City Department of Investigation. The chiefs, Brian Cordasco and Anthony Saccavino, have not been accused of any wrongdoing, and the Fire Department has placed them on modified duty while referring the allegations to the Department of Investigation.
