Last week, Mayor Adams pleaded “not guilty” to five federal charges, including bribery, wire fraud, conspiracy to commit wire fraud, and receiving campaign contributions from foreign nationals.
According to the indictment, Adams is accused of accepting gifts from Turkish officials and businessmen. The gifts date back at least a decade to when Adams was Brooklyn’s borough president.
He allegedly accepted luxury international travel, illegal campaign contributions, entertainment, “as well as other things of value from foreign nationals.”
The indictment states: “As Adams’ prominence and power grew, his foreign-national benefactors sought to cash in on their corrupt relationships with him, particularly when, in 2021, it became clear that Adams would become New York City’s mayor.”
Assistant U.S. Attorney Hagan Scotten stated that there are other investigations involving potential defendants related to Adams’ case.
