Overview

• FBI and New York City investigators conducted raids on the homes of FDNY chiefs Anthony Saccavino and Brian Cordasco, and the department's Brooklyn headquarters, as part of a corruption investigation.
• The investigation, which began last summer, focuses on allegations that the chiefs were paid $100,000 each to expedite or arrange safety inspections.
• Neither Saccavino nor Cordasco has been charged with wrongdoing, and both have been placed on modified duty pending further investigation.
• The probe is examining whether a retired firefighter made the payments as part of an effort to influence fire inspections on building projects.
• The investigation is not related to the federal corruption investigation into Mayor Eric Adams' campaign funds.
