What are the corruption allegations against NYC Mayor Eric Adams involving the Turkish government?
Mayor Eric Adams faces serious corruption and bribery charges stemming from an investigation that began in November 2023 when his cell phone was confiscated. The allegations claim Adams received lavish trips to Istanbul while improperly favoring the Turkish government, essentially currying favor with them. Specifically, Adams is accused of allowing the Turkish government to build a consulate in New York City without obtaining the proper permits. These charges, formally filed in September 2024, suggest Adams engaged in a quid pro quo arrangement, accepting personal benefits in exchange for bypassing normal regulatory procedures for the Turkish consulate project.
