“Combatting gun violence is my top priority, and I am going to use every tool available to keep Manhattanites safe,” said District Attorney Bragg. “We prosecute gun cases in court every day, and litigation is another important avenue we are utilizing to protect our state’s tough gun laws. The human toll gun violence has taken on our communities is enormous, and New Yorkers deserve nothing less than the most robust possible protection under the law.”

“Gun violence continues to take a toll on our city,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Residents of public housing deserve the same safety and security as everyone else and we will not tolerate this type of violence where families live and socialize.”

“When the bidding process is rigged, we all lose,” said District Attorney Bragg. “The market suffers from a lack of quality competition, developers are prevented from hiring the best companies at fair prices, and – importantly – honest, law-abiding companies are pushed out by those that broke the law. I hope this indictment sends a message that the Manhattan D.A.’s Office and our partners at the DOI and NYPD will not tolerate bribery, corruption, or fraud. We will use our combined expertise and resources to ensure free competition and a fair market.”
