Overview
- Federal agents executed a search warrant at Anthony Miranda’s Fresh Meadows, Queens, home on Thursday, and were seen removing boxes and materials.
- Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s office said it is aware of the federal investigation and will await the legal findings.
- Reporting and past city probes show investigators are focused on Miranda’s handling of cash seized from illegal or unlicensed smoke and pot shops and on nonprofits tied to him.
- No arrests were reported after the search and Miranda did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
- The federal action follows a 2024 Department of Investigation review of the sheriff’s office and could lead to further federal scrutiny or charges if agents find documentary or financial evidence.
