"The warrant raises suspicions but does not indicate that he has been accused of any wrongdoing."
"Since taking office in 2019, Farah Louis has allocated at least $71,000 in discretionary funding to the nonprofit."
"The council takes any potential misconduct extremely seriously. New Yorkers deserve confidence in their government."
Federal prosecutors are investigating Brooklyn officials, including City Councilmember Farah Louis and Gov. Kathy Hochul's assistant Debbie Louis, for potential bribery linked to contracts with a migrant shelter provider. A search warrant was executed to gather evidence of possible criminal violations involving city funds. The investigation also includes Edu Hermelyn, though he has not been accused of wrongdoing. The nonprofit BHFRAGS Home Care Inc. has received significant funding for expanding services amid an influx of asylum seekers since 2022.
