City Paper reports that federal investigators are examining Falcicchio's role running the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Economic Development (DMPED). DMPED oversees the powerful DC Office of Planning (OP) and some other city agencies. The investigation apparently extend beyond just Falcicchio. "The questions have also involved the conduct of some of his deputies at the agency, which manages the city’s complex (and politically sensitive) real estate deals, according to the source." Some of the matters for which Falcicchio was responsible would include lucrative public-private partnerships (such as the proposed private residential redevelopment of the Chevy Chase library and community center site) and the 2021 amendments to DC's Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map, which are potentially worth many millions of dollars to some developers and real estate interests.
I don’t think this will go anywhere.

Arguably, the real news may be if there is a report on his various activities as the go-to "liaison" between the mayor and well-connected parties in the DC real estate development sector.
'While true, most people don’t care about that.'

What federal agency is investigating him? DOJ?
