In what could be the precursor to a criminal investigation, the state comptroller’s office is expected to issue the audit it has been conducting over allegations that the Empire State Development Corporation, under the leadership of Charles Gargano, inappropriately directed state funds. Some sources indicated off the record that the audit might be issued this week.

That information was not confirmed by New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli’s office.
