FBI Raids Bronx Homes of Eric Adams’ Aide Winnie Greco: Investigation Deepens
Expanding Probe: Federal Raid on Advisors’ Homes Highlights Growing Investigations Around NYC Mayor
According to Star Stripes, federal authorities conducted raids at two Bronx residences owned by Winnie Greco, a key advisor to New York City Mayor Eric Adams. Greco, who serves as the director of Asian Affairs for the mayor and is involved in fundraising, is currently under scrutiny. While the specific cause for the raids remains undisclosed, they indicate heightened attention from law enforcement toward Mayor Adams and his associates. These actions coincide with ongoing investigations by federal prosecutors in Manhattan, who seized Adams’ electronic devices in the past year.
The investigation into Greco is being led by the U.S. attorney’s office in Brooklyn. Greco was put on leave after the raids. The city’s Department of Investigation started looking into her last November after reports suggested she used her job to get personal benefits, like asking a city worker to renovate her home for free. Greco’s situation adds to the trouble Mayor Adams is facing, with other top aides also being investigated for possible illegal activities.
