New York City Mayor Eric Adams is facing an FBI investigation regarding complimentary flight upgrades he received from Turkish Airlines that provided him with first-class seating, elevating him on international trips.
The investigation delves into Adams' connections not only with Turkish Airlines but also with the Turkish government, as federal authorities are probing potential corruption within his mayoral campaign and his ties to Turkish officials.
Adams' involvement with Turkish Airlines goes beyond being a mere passenger, as he has participated in meetings and events involving the air carrier, including interactions with Turkish business leaders and diplomats linked to the Turkish government and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Federal prosecutors and FBI agents have uncovered evidence suggesting that a former Turkish Airlines executive helped facilitate some of the upgrades for Adams in collaboration with a top fundraiser, as part of the ongoing federal inquiry.
