Manhattan prosecutors accuse Ingrid Lewis-Martin of abusing her position to influence city decisions for cash and luxury benefits, including a Porsche for her son.
The indictment details a long-running bribery scheme, with Ms. Lewis-Martin allegedly accepting $100,000 for favorable treatment in Department of Buildings decisions and business ventures.
According to Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, Lewis-Martin's actions reflect a serious breach of public trust, as she allegedly sold her influence to benefit herself and her family.
The indictment highlights that financial support for Ms. Lewis-Martin's business ventures, including a clothing line and Chick-fil-A, was exchanged for her assistance as a city official.
