Federal authorities arrested Mohamed Bahi, a former aide to Mayor Eric Adams, for allegedly destroying evidence and tampering with witnesses in a federal investigation regarding a fundraiser.
Bahi reportedly instructed witnesses to lie to investigators about a December 2020 fundraiser, linked to alleged 'straw donor' practices that circumvent fundraising limits.
Adams, indicted on charges of bribery and fraud, is referred to as 'Official-1' in the complaint, highlighting the severe implications of the charges.
The investigation began in 2021 and involves Bahi’s alleged communication with a businessman involved in a scheme to donate under the guise of nominal donors.
