Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg announced on Thursday that former New York City mayor's chief adviser, her son, and two real estate investors have been indicted in a bribery conspiracy case. The charges allege that while serving as Mayor Eric Adams' chief adviser, Ingrid Lewis-Martin, her son Glenn D. Martin II, Raizada Vaid, and Mayank Dwivedi were involved in a scheme involving bribes exceeding $100,000. Lewis-Martin and her son are also facing charges of money laundering.
The court document states that Lewis-Martin abused her position to benefit herself and her family by selling her influence. The developers sought her help in obtaining project approvals, and she used her influence to push city officials to act in their favor.
