L’FBI confiscated the mayor of New York’s cell phones and an iPad, Eric Adams, as part of an investigation into the shadow of Turkish money in his election campaign. Informed sources told CNN. The mayor has not yet been investigated, but the police searched the 25-year-old’s house Brianna suggestsresponsible for its fundraising and promoting its political agenda.
The confiscation of electronic devices Anonymous sources told the New York Times that officers stopped the mayor on the street and asked his security guards to leave. At this point, they got into the company car with him and confiscated the electronic devices, which were to be returned a few days later.
Campaign finance investigations The federal government’s investigations particularly concern the financing of Adams’ election campaign. On Nov. 2, the FBI conducted a search of the home of Brianna Suggs, a leading figure in fundraising for the mayor’s campaign, and seized laptops, phones and documents.
Donations to Adam and Ankara’s role According to the warrant, the search was organized as part of an investigation into alleged violations of campaign finance laws that also involved the Turkish government and Brooklyn-based Ksk Construction. In particular, the authorities are trying to understand whether the Ankara manager used fictitious people when making donations to Adams in order to conceal the origin of the money.
The lawyer: “He is not accused of any wrongdoing” “As a former member of law enforcement, I expect all of my employees to uphold the law and cooperate fully in any type of investigation, and that is exactly what I will continue to do,” said Adams, a former police captain. Body Johnson, the mayor’s attorney, said that Adams was “committed to cooperating with the investigation” and that “he has not been accused of any wrongdoing.”
