A federal corruption investigation is targeting New York City Councilmember Farah Louis and her sister Debbie Louis, who works as an aide to Governor Kathy Hochul.

Prosecutors are examining whether the sisters accepted bribes or kickbacks related to city funding for a migrant shelter provider.

Debbie Louis was reportedly placed on leave after the governor learned of the investigation.

The inquiry is being handled by federal authorities, though details remain limited, CBS News has reported.

City Council officials said they take potential misconduct seriously and expect a thorough and timely investigation.
