Eric Adams charged with taking bribes and foreign campaign contributions
Eric Adams, the mayor of New York City, has been charged with accepting bribes and illegal campaign contributions from foreign sources after an indictment was filed against the leader of one of the worlds biggest cities.
In a five-count criminal indictment, US prosecutors allege that before and during his terms as mayor, Adams ?sought and accepted improper valuable benefits, such as luxury international travel, including from wealthy foreign business people and at least one Turkish government official seeking to gain influence over him?.
The criminal counts against Adams include conspiracy to commit wire fraud and to receive campaign contributions by foreign nationals, wire fraud, and solicitation of a contribution by a foreign national.
Adams arraignment was scheduled for noon on Friday before magistrate judge Katharine Parker.
?A True Friend of Turkey?: Eric Adams bribery indictment reveals years of flights and favours
The complaint focuses on trips Adams and his partner took to Turkey, India and Ghana on Turkish airlines, sometimes staying in luxury hotels, that as an elected official he should have disclosed to the government, and campaign contributions made by Turkish officials through a system of ?straw? donors.
Adams ?did not disclose the travel benefits he had obtained in annual financial disclosures he was required to file as a New York City employee?, the government alleges. ?Sometimes, Adams agreed to pay a nominal fee to create the appearance of having paid for travel that was in fact heavily discounted.?
