Mayor Eric Adams said Friday he has not been contacted directly by federal authorities following FBI raids on properties owned by and connected to one of his top aides on Feb. 29.
The mayor’s comments followed searches of two Bronx homes owned by and a building containing offices used by, his Director of Asian Affairs Winnie Greco — who is also his longtime close associate. The raids were conducted at houses Greco owns on Gillespie Avenue in the Pelham Bay section of the Bronx and at the New World Mall, where she worked in offices used by Adams’ 2021 mayoral campaign, early Thursday, according to the federal authorities and the news site THE CITY.
