According to Fox News, New York Mayor Eric Adams has been indicted by a Manhattan grand jury on federal charges, as confirmed by several sources familiar with the situation. The specifics of the charges are currently under seal.
Sources suggest that the indictment could be made public as soon as tomorrow.
Both the FBI and the Department of Justice have declined to provide any comments on the case, and it remains unclear who Adams has hired as his defense attorney.
The 63-year-old former NYPD captain has had multiple individuals in his circle targeted by federal authorities.
Earlier this year in February, the FBI raided the Bronx home of Winnie Greco, one of Adams’ senior aides.
In November, federal agents also searched the property of Cenk Ocal, a former executive at Turkish Airlines who was involved in Adams’ transition team.
That same month, they visited Brianna Suggs, the mayor’s chief fundraiser
Rana Abbasova, another close aide, reportedly flipped on the mayor in May after scrutiny over his dealings with Turkish Airlines, according to the New York Times.
The FBI has reportedly been looking into whether Adams’ 2021 mayoral campaign conspired with the Turkish government and other entities to raise funds.
