A federal grand jury has indicted the former board chairman of the Rochester Housing Authority.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office says that George Moses has been indicted on two counts of making false statements to the FBI.
According to the indictment and a previously filed complaint, the charges are connected to a contract between Rochester Housing Charities, which is an affiliated nonprofit created by the Rochester Housing Authority, and another company, Capital Connection Partners LLC, which would ultimately subcontract its work to Caesar Development LLC, a company owned by former Rochester City Councilman Adam McFadden.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office says that during an investigation into the contracts, the FBI interviewed Moses, and he is accused of making false statements.
He was arraigned on Friday and entered a not guilty plea.
Adam McFadden pleaded guilty in April to federal charges including a count of wire fraud and a violation regarding filing a false tax return. McFadden will be sentenced in June.
