NYCH BRIBERY CASE: All 70 New York City Housing Authority employees charged in last year’s sweeping bribery investigation have now had their cases resolved, with each defendant either pleading guilty or being convicted at trial.
Prosecutors said 56 pleaded guilty to felonies, 11 to misdemeanors, and three were convicted at trial, concluding the largest crackdown of its kind. Officials said the workers accepted cash bribes in exchange for steering small NYCHA contracts.
