Hahaha, még a csalás is olyan ostoba, mint Adams, és az külön vicces, hogy ezért majd becsukjak:
"Manhattan U.S. Attorney Damian Williams on Thursday unsealed a 57-page indictment that accuses Mayor Eric Adams of performing favors for Turkish foreign nationals after soliciting illegal donations from them — which in turn generated many times more in public matching funds for his 2021 mayoral campaign.
The five-count indictment of Adams, the first mayor of New York City to ever be charged with a crime while in office, includes allegations against him of wire fraud, bribery and receiving contributions from foreign nationals — which he knew to be illegal, according to prosecutors.
The foreign nationals, including a “senior official in the Turkish diplomatic establishment,” raised much of this through illegal “straw” donations, and also showered the peripatetic mayor with more than $120,000 in free airfare, hotel stays and “luxurious entertainment” on trips around the world, the indictment alleges.
In return, Adams pressured fire officials in September 2021 — when he was expected to win City Hall — to allow a new 36-story building housing the Turkish consulate to open without a fire safety inspection in time for a visit by Turkey’s president Tayyip Erdogan. The indictment notes the building would have failed the inspection.
“Because of ADAMS’s pressure on the FDNY, the FDNY official responsible for the FDNY’s assessment of the skyscraper’s fire safety was told that he would lose his job if he failed to acquiesce, and, after ADAMS intervened, the skyscraper opened as requested by the Turkish Official,” the indictment says.
The alleged freebies date back to at least 2016, when Adams served as Brooklyn Borough President, and allowed Adams and his companions to receive free or discounted air fare to France, China, Sri Lanka, India, Hungary and Turkey."
The 57-page indictment reveals repeated attempts to solicit straw donors from foreign nationals and score travel perks in exchange for government favors.
