Two former top officials of the FDNY's Bureau of Fire Prevention have been indicted on charges of bribery, corruption, and making false statements. Anthony Saccavino and Brian Cordasco allegedly conspired to solicit and accept bribes in exchange for fast-tracking safety inspections for certain individuals and companies.
chiefs have been indicted on bribery, corruption and false statement offenses for allegedly conspiring to solicit and accept tens of thousands of dollars in bribe payments for giving preferential treatment to certain people and companies with safety inspection matters pending, federal prosecutors announced Monday.
Prosecutors claim Saccavino and Cordasco, having joined the FDNY in 1995 and 2002, respectively, moved into the BFP in 2020, one year before becoming entangled in the alleged bribery scheme. The two are accused of working with a third man, a retired FDNY firefighter who started an"expediting" business to help people and businesses fast-track reviews and inspections.
Prosecutors said the FBI interviewed Saccavino and Cordasco in Feb. 2024 about the alleged scheme, and claimed the two chiefs lied about their involvement in the kickback operation.
