The Manhattan District Attorney’s office is investigating subcontractors at the World Trade Center site for paying construction workers directly in cash, without paying taxes or making contributions to the workers’ pension funds. The DA said the taxes and pension payments lost could be in the millions. DA Robert Morgenthau said the office was looking into whether the site’s general contractors, Bovis Lend Lease and Tishman Construction, were aware of the alleged fraud.
