Eric Adams, the mayor of New York City, is facing indictment charges after a federal corruption investigation. On Wednesday night, the mayor was brought in for questioning. However, the charges placed on him were not revealed to the public. The federal police said they would be disclosed during court proceedings on Thursday. The mayor, who has been serving since 2021, is the first person in NYC&#39;s history to be charged while in office.The charges heated up following an <a href="https://cryptotale.org/fbi-reports-5-6-billion-lost-in-2023-crypto-fraud-cases/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">FBI</a> investigation in November 2023. The investigators raided Adam&#39;s electronic devices, suspecting his connections with the Turkish government. Further, they raided the residence of Adam&#39;s chief fundraiser, Brianna Suggs.Adams was suspected of receiving illegal donations from the Turkish government in 2021. Further, a probe was made to check whether the mayor had accepted expensive flights on Turkish Airlines, a carrier partially owned by the <a href="https://cryptotale.org/47-crypto-firms-seek-turkey-licenses-coinbase-bybit-yet-to-submit-applications/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Turkish</a> government.However, Adams stood his ground about being innocent. He stated that he had been facing such charges since the time he was elected, yet the city had improved under his tenure. In a <a href="https://twitter.com/nypost/status/1839128484070780983" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">video</a> speech, Adams stated that he would prove his innocence and fight till the very end.
