The New York prosecutor's office uncovers a major corruption scheme in the city's social housing agency. At least 70 employees have been accused of collecting bribes from contractors on minor works that did not require bidding.

“They used their positions at NYCHA to line their pockets,” systemic corruption that “eroded public trust,’ says the prosecutor. Last year, agency officials estimated that about $78 billion is needed over the next two decades to renew the aging system.
