Top NYPD official tied to Eric Adams rumored to resign after FBI raids: Report

SUMMARY

New York City Police Commissioner Edward Caban is rumored to be resigning following an FBI raid on his home last week, according to a report by Politico. Caban, a 33-year NYPD veteran, was appointed by Mayor Eric Adams in 2023. The FBI also searched the homes of at least six other NYPD officials linked to Adams, confiscating their phones. Caban’s twin brother, James Caban, is also under investigation for allegedly leveraging his brother's role for personal gain. Mayor Adams defended Caban at a press conference but did not guarantee his continued tenure as commissioner. The FBI's investigations into Adams and his associates include separate scrutiny regarding alleged ties to Turkey during Adams' 2021 mayoral campaign. Critics argue the investigations may be politically motivated due to Adams' harsh stance on President Biden's immigration policies.
