NYPD Commissioner Edward Caban’s home was raided by FBI agents in a stunning early Wednesday sweep that targeted a suite of Mayor Eric Adams’ top aides, sources said. The raid on Caban unfolded as agents stormed the homes of deputy mayors Phil Banks and Sheena Wright, according to law-enforcement sources.
But Mayor Eric Adams appears to be sticking with his handpicked top cop, at least for now, and has brought on a celebrity attorney to represent the administration, including Caban, against any legal troubles ostensibly in the offing, The Post has learned.as the man who “keeps the rich and famous above the law” and has a laundry list of swanky clients, such as Elon Musk, Jay-Z, Megan Thee Stallion and New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft.
“Even the appearance of impropriety casts a dark shadow over the integrity of our police department,” City Councilman Bob Holden, a Queens Democrat, told The Post on Friday. “That s–t rolls downhill,” he continued. “I’m sure there are a lot of people updating their resumes today … We knew things were happening, but we didn’t know the extent.”Spiro was once referred to by The New Yorker as the man who “keeps the rich and famous above the law.”The feds hit Caban and other members of the nation’s largest police force — as well as several people in Adams’ inner circle — earlier this week in a stunning series of raids that have upended the Big Apple’s political world.
Caban’s twin brother, former NYPD sergeant James Caban, was also hit with a search warrant and a subpoena, sources said. “He can’t leave — he’s stuck,” the source said. “If he leaves, he damages Adams beyond imagination. If he leaves, it would be an admission of guilt.”
