Brooklyn real estate magnate pleads guilty to funneling illegal donations to NYC mayor
Briefly

When I wrote the checks, I knew the Eric Adams campaign would use the checks to apply for public matching funds, demonstrating the intent behind the illegal contributions.
Prosecutors revealed a collection of evidence, including recordings and emails, indicating that Arkan conspired with a Turkish official for illegal campaign financing.
The indictment alleges that Mayor Adams personally solicited donations from Arkan and a Turkish consular official during a dinner in April 2021.
Defense attorney Alex Spiro claimed that Arkan's guilty plea would have no impact on Mayor Adams’ case, maintaining the separation of the legal troubles.
