Ingrid Lewis-Martin, the mayor's adviser, has been indicted for accepting bribes from real estate investors, allegedly affecting project approvals through the city’s Department of Buildings.
The indictment reveals a personal connection, with her son being implicated for helping manage the money received from the real estate operators, raising concerns about a possible family scheme.
Lewis-Martin has maintained her innocence, arguing she is being falsely accused, and her lawyer emphasizes there should be a clear record if any wrongdoing occurred.
The real estate developers involved are not prominent figures in the industry, yet their influence ran deep enough to allegedly corrupt public service for project expediency.
