Brooklyn bar owner alleges he was victim of ‘shakedown' amid growing federal criminal investigation into NYC city hall and NYPDA Coney Island bar owner said he was told his problems with the NYPD could be resolved if he hired and paid the police commissioner’s brother. The bar owner alleged it was a worker in the mayor’s office who allegedly tried to help arrange the deal.

Kelly alleges he reached out to James Caban - the police commissioner's twin brother - and that James Caban told him he could help Kelly with his NYPD problems if he paid him about $2,500 upfront. James Caban, an ex-cop, is the twin brother of Edward Caban, the NYPD commissioner who resigned Thursday.

"If you have a license to serve alcohol, and it was summertime and community board knew we were going to Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night events," Kelly said. Edward Caban's attorneys tell NBC New York,"We have been informed by the government that he is not a target of any investigation being conducted by the Southern District of New York, and he expects to cooperate fully with the government.
