The now-retired chiefs were arrested after allegedly accepting $190,000 in bribes in exchange for expediting inspections, according to the indictment that was unsealed Monday in a Manhattan federal court.
Both Cordasco and Saccavino were responsible for overseeing safety inspections on building projects under the FDNY Bureau of Fire Prevention. The indictment alleges that both men used their high-ranking positions for their own financial gain. According to the indictment, Saccavino and Cordasco “repeatedly abused their positions of trust as high-ranking officials in the New York City Fire Department” by soliciting and accepting thousands of dollars in bribes in exchange for providing preferential treatment to individuals and companies involved with the bribes. Each of them is alleged to have accepted nearly $100,000 in bribes.
