US EditionMore Adams Associates and Supporters Are Said to Face Corruption Charges
Ingrid Lewis-Martin and associates face new corruption charges involving bribes exceeding $100,000 in exchange for political favors related to city redevelopment and safety projects.
- On Thursday, Ingrid Lewis-Martin will appear in Manhattan state court to face new charges expected to name Jesse Hamilton, Glenn Martin II, and Gina and Tony Argento, while prosecutors declined to detail charges.
- Prosecutors allege the charges stem from influence-peddling tied to redevelopment deals, with Ingrid Lewis-Martin accepting high-end meals and Gina Argento and Tony Argento blocking the McGuinness Boulevard safety redesign in Brooklyn.
- She resigned abruptly in mid-December, weeks before charges were unsealed; authorities seized Ingrid Lewis-Martin’s phones and raided her Brooklyn home last year amid investigations into $100,000 bribes used for a Porsche purchase for her son Glenn Martin II.
- With the mayor running for reelection, the new charges intensify scrutiny of his administration; City Hall says Mayor Eric Adams was not involved and notes Lewis-Martin no longer works for the administration.
- Manhattan prosecutors could unseal charges Thursday, and Aidala said Ingrid Lewis-Martin will plead not guilty and seek an expedited trial amid renewed scrutiny of Adams' administration.
