Feds make dozens of bribery arrests related to New York City public housing contracts

NEW YORK - Dozens of New York City Housing Authority workers are accused of corruption for allegedly taking millions of dollars in exchange for work contracts. 

Seventy current or former NYCHA  employees are now facing charges.

Prosecutors say superintendents or assistant superintendents demanded bribes from contractors for repairs or construction work on NYCHA properties, and if they didn't pay up, they'd award the work to someone else.
