Ingrid Lewis-Martin, a top aide to New York City Mayor Eric Adams, surrenders to authorities Expected to face bribery charges Thursday morning — she would become the highest-profile city official to face charges since Mayor Adams was convicted on federal corruption charges in late September.
Lewis-Martin – who arrived at Manhattan Criminal Court wearing a leopard-print top and bold red lipstick – is accused of helping two businessmen who gave her DJ son a $100,000 loan to buy a Porsche , The Post has learned.
Manhattan prosecutors believe Lewis-Martin, in his City Hall role, expedited a construction project run by two businessmen.
In return for favors, the businessman allegedly gave his son, Glenn Martin II, who is the son of DJ Suave Luciano, a huge loan to buy luxury vehicles, sources told The Post.
Lewis-Martin, his son and at least one businessman, hotelier Mayank Dwivedi, are expected to be charged.
“The DA has an incomplete and inaccurate view of the facts,” Dwivedi’s attorney Tenny Geragos told The Post on Wednesday night. We look forward to setting the record straight and proving Mr. Dwivedi’s complete innocence.”
