Two former longtime advisers to the New York City mayor, Eric Adams, have been accused this week of being involved in separate bribery schemes.

On Thursday, the Manhattan district attorney, Alvin Bragg, announced the indictment of Ingrid Lewis-Martin, Adams’s former chief adviser. She is accused of accepting “more than $75,000 in bribes” as part of a “wide-ranging series of bribery conspiracies”, which prosecutors allege took place between March 2022 and November 2024 while she served as chief adviser to the mayor.
