That's how U.S. Attorney Damian Williams described the arrest of 70 New York City Housing Authority employees on Tuesday.
Tuesday, February 6, 2024 8:05PMAs many as 70 New York City Housing Authority employees were arrested Tuesday in a federal corruption investigation.
The dozens of current and former employees of NYCHA demanded $2 million in bribe money from contractors in exchange for giving out more than $13 million in work at NYCHA buildings, officials say.

Instead, the superintendent or assistant superintendent can choose the contractor.
