More details to come...

Dozens of New York City Housing Authority employees were hauled away in handcuffs as part of a large-scale raid Tuesday morning, The Post has learned.

More than 50 employees were expected to be arrested in connection to the probe, which involved the city Department of Investigation and Homeland Security Investigations, sources briefed on the matter told The Post.

Photos from the scene showed a handful of officers in HSI vests surrounding a car.

The Southern District of New York is expected to provide more details this afternoon.

About 70 New York City Housing Authority employees have been arrested in a federal raid.

The New York Post reports that dozens of employees and contractors were taken away by police in handcuffs after the raid on Tuesday.

The workers are expected to be charged in connection with a variety of alleged corruption and kickback schemes, sources told NBC New York.

"70 employees?!"

Yep, at about half of the projects. In trying to give local administrators the power to quickly hire maintenance people to come in and do smaller, urgent jobs without going through the (undoubtedly very unwieldy!) formal procurement process, they seem to have opened up opportunities for shady MFs to demand kickbacks.

Considering the financial problems the projects have struggled with that have led to substandard living conditions, it's a real disgrace. Though I imagine this happens with other developers and management companies, we just don't hear about it.
