New York City Mayor Eric Adams is facing charges. The 64-year-old politician was charged with five criminal counts relating to his alleged ties with foreign businessmen and a Turkish official who sought to influence his decision making, according to an indictment, via People.
He is charged with conspiring to commit wire fraud, federal program bribery and receiving campaign contributions by foreign nationals, as well as one count of bribery, one count of wire fraud, and two counts of soliciting a contribution by a foreign national. “The conduct alleged in the indictment — the foreign money, the corporate money, the bribery, the years of concealment — is a grave breach of public trust,” U.S.
Attorney Damian Williams said in a statement. Alex Spiro, a celebrity lawyer that Eric Adams recently retained for his criminal case, issued a statement: “We have known for some time that they would try to find a way to bring a case against Mayor Adams.
