Caban stepped down as scrutiny\u200c intensifies over various aspects of Mayor Eric Adams&#8217;s administration, marking his resignation as a critical event in a series of four federal\u200c probes\u200b currently affecting City Hall.<\/p>\n<p>The investigations regarding Caban remain somewhat opaque, but reports\u200c suggest they may\u2063 relate to a nightclub security business linked to his twin brother, James Caban, who\u2063 allegedly has connections with\u2063 local establishments \u200cin resolving disputes with\u2062 police. Law enforcement officials executed raids \u200con Caban&#8217;s home, confiscating cell phones \u2062belonging to both him\u200d and his brother. Caban has stated that he is not guilty of any \u2064wrongdoing, asserting\u200b that his \u2064resignation should not\u2062 be \u200dseen as an admission of guilt.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, another investigation into potential bribery has come to\u2063 light, particularly \u2062involving the Banks brothers,\u200b which includes New York City Schools Chancellor David Banks, and the deputy mayor for public\u2063 safety. These inquiries signify \u2063a tumultuous period for the Adams administration, indicating\u200c that the ramifications of these\u2064 investigations \u200bmay be far-reaching.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Where the New York City federal investigations stand after NYPD chief resigns<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1759432\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/justice\/3148278\/top-nypd-official-tied-eric-adams-rumored-resign-after-fbi-raids\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Edward Caban<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/new-york-city\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>New York City<\/a> police commissioner, resigned on Thursday as federal investigations circle over several key components of Mayor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/eric-adams\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Eric Adams&rsquo;s <\/a>administration.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>His resignation is the most significant occurrence of the four federal investigations enveloping City Hall, and the move shows that the investigations could deal more damage to the Adams administration before they&rsquo;re all over.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">NYPD Police Commissioner Edward A.

Caban maintains he did nothing wrong and resigned not as an admission of guilt.<\/p>\n<p>Another major federal investigation into Adams&rsquo;s administration also involves brothers.<\/p>\n<p>Investigators looking into a possible bribery scheme seized phones from Terence Banks, as well as his older brothers, New York City Schools Chancellor David Banks, and the deputy mayor for public safety, Philip Banks.<\/p>\n<p>One of the brothers, Terence Banks, is a consultant for a company that has received contracts with agencies his brothers oversee. The inquiry is reportedly in its early stages.<\/p>\n<p>The other two federal investigations involve Adams himself and a top aide.<\/p>\n<p>Investigators have inquired into Adams&rsquo;s fundraising, searching the home of his chief fundraiser in November as part of an inquiry into whether the campaign worked with the Turkish government to garner illegal foreign donations. A major part of the investigation is whether Adams pressured the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/supreme-court-gives-cities-more-power-to-ban-homeless-camps-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"Supreme Court gives cities more power to ban homeless camps - Washington Examiner\">city&#038;rsquo<\/a>;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/breaking-massive-explosion-in-downtown-nashville-on-christmas-morning-possible-car-bomb-video\/\" title=\"BREAKING: Massive Explosion in Downtown Nashville on Christmas Morning, Possible Car Bomb (VIDEO)\">fire department<\/a> to approve a Turkish high-rise and accepted airline upgrades on Turkish Airlines, which is owned in part by the Turkish government.<\/p>\n<p>That case could have devastating complications for Adams.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title><strong><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The final case implicates Adams&rsquo;s Asian affairs liaison, Winnie Greco, who has close ties with the Chinese community in New York City.

This resignation marks a pivotal moment in the four federal inquiries surrounding City Hall and suggests that these investigations may further impact the Adams administration.<\/p>\n<p>The reasons behind the investigation into Caban remain unclear; however, reports from The New York Times indicate that it partially focuses on a nightclub security business owned by his twin brother, James Caban. CBS News has reported that James allegedly acted as a &#8220;fixer&#8221; for restaurants and nightclubs, mediating issues between law enforcement and popular venues regarding noise complaints and other infractions. Authorities executed a search at Caban&#8217;s home, confiscating his cellphones as well as those belonging to his brother. Caban asserts he has done nothing wrong and states that his resignation does not imply guilt.<\/p>\n<p>Another significant federal investigation related to Adams\u2019s administration involves siblings as well. Investigators are examining a potential bribery scheme linked to Terence Banks\u2014who is under scrutiny along with his brothers: David Banks (New York City Schools Chancellor) and Philip Banks (deputy mayor for public safety). Terence works as a consultant for a firm that has secured contracts with agencies overseen by his brothers. This inquiry is reportedly still in its initial phases.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, two other federal investigations involve Mayor Adams himself and one of his senior aides. Authorities have been probing into Adams\u2019s fundraising activities; they searched the residence of his chief fundraiser last November while investigating whether there was collaboration with the Turkish government to obtain illegal foreign contributions. A critical aspect of this inquiry includes allegations that Adams pressured the city fire department to approve plans for a Turkish high-rise building while accepting upgrades from Turkish Airlines\u2014a company partly owned by the Turkish government\u2014which could pose serious repercussions for him.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, another case involves Winnie Greco, who serves as Adams\u2019s liaison for Asian affairs and has strong connections within New York City&#8217;s Chinese community. The specifics of her investigation remain unclear; however, her home was raided earlier this year amidst broader inquiries where several individuals have been charged with acting improperly on behalf of China\u2019s government by the U.S Attorney&#8217;s Office for the Eastern District of New York in recent years<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2340424,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Edward.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[40786,40785,36462,6703,32076],"class_list":["post-2340423","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-chief-resignation","tag-federal-investigations","tag-new-york-city","tag-nypd","tag-washington-examiner"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Edward.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2340423","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2340423"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2340423\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2340424"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2340423"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2340423"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2340423"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
