Cianci says he's innocent and won't step down. The mayor says the people of Providence will determine his fate. Cianci and Almond have long been political foes. Almond last year said Cianci was responsible for corruption in City Hall. Yesterday, a federal judge in Providence granted a restraining order freezing the mayor's campaign funds.
Prosecutors say some of the money came from bribes.
Cianci is in Washington, D-C, today for a national meeting of mayors.
