NEW YORK (1010 WINS/WCBS 880) – Law enforcement officials conducted searches of the FDNY headquarters and the homes of two senior chiefs on Thursday morning in connection with a corruption investigation on whether they had improperly accepted payments, according to officials and reports.
New York investigators — working with FBI agents, but those agents didn’t necessarily execute the searches themselves — conducted searches at the FDNY headquarters in Brooklyn, Chief Anthony Saccavino’s Brooklyn home and deputy chief Brian Cordasco’s Staten Island home. The two men oversee safety inspections, according to the New York Times .
The FBI New York field office would not confirm searches at either men’s homes when provided with their names or the FDNY headquarters, but when provided by 1010 WINS with the address of Saccavino’s home and asked if a search was conducted there Thursday, an FBI New York spokesman told 1010 WINS, “FBI New York was at that location carrying out law enforcement activities.”
