Federal investigators are looking into the financial and business dealings of former chief of staff to NYC Mayor Eric Adams, Frank Carone, and a monsignor in a Brooklyn Diocese, sources familiar with the matter tell News 4Federal investigators are looking into two more prominent figures with ties to Mayor Eric Adams -- a close advisor and a monsignor with the Brooklyn Diocese, according to sources familiar with the matter.
Neither man has been charged with any wrongdoing and it appears the federal inquiry is in its early stages. Frank Carone, reached by phone, told NBC New York he is unaware of any criminal investigation connected to him or the monsignor. Gigantiello declined to comment. The monsignor was recently demoted after pop star Sabrina Carpenter filmed a controversial music video inside his Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church in Williamsburg. He said he regretted the decision and had been unaware of the video's contents.
