As F.B.I. agents searched the home of Mayor Eric Adams's chief fund-raiser earlier this month for evidence his campaign conspired with Turkey, separate teams executed warrants at the residences of two others with ties to the mayor and that country, several people with knowledge of the matter said.
The coordinated raids were the first public sign of a broad corruption investigation into the mayor's 2021 campaign. As part of the inquiry, the F.B.I. and federal prosecutors in Manhattan are examining whether the Turkish government conspired with Mr. Adams's campaign to funnel foreign donations into campaign coffers and whether Mr. Adams pressured Fire Department officials to sign off on a new high-rise Turkish consulate despite safety concerns.
Ms. Abbasova, Mr. Ocal, Ms. Suggs and Mr. Adams have not been accused of wrongdoing.
