Federal agents arrest four individuals linked to BHRAGS Home Care Corp., a Brooklyn nonprofit awarded $200M in city contracts for homeless shelters since 2022. The probe targets potential bribery involving City Council Member Farah Louis and her sister Debbie Louis, an aide to Governor Kathy Hochul. Arrested are BHRAGS president Jean Ronald Tirelus, executive director Roberto Samedy, retired NYPD sergeant Edouardo St. Fort, and Miguel Jorge. St. Fort faces charges including conspiracy, bribery on federal funds, and crossing state lines for shady deals. Debbie Louis is on leave from the governors office. No charges yet for the sisters or others not arrested, but search warrants have been issued. This scandal is reshaping how the city allocates funds for shelters.
