Four people with ties to Queens State Senator Shirley Huntley have been accused of trying to steal funds intended for a nonprofit she founded.

Huntley's niece and a senior aide are among those indicted.

They allegedly conspired to pocket nearly $30,000 in member items earmarked for Parent Workshop Incorporated, a group that Huntley founded prior to joining the legislature.

Huntley has not been charged.

In a statement, the lawmaker said she's confident a full investigation will prove she did nothing wrong.
