NEW YORK (AP) — Federal agents searched two properties owned by a top adviser to New York City Mayor Eric Adams on Thursday morning. The FBI confirmed the raids conducted Thursday at two Bronx addresses. Records show the homes there are owned by Winnie Greco, a longtime fundraiser for the mayor who serves as his director of Asian Affairs. The purpose of the raid wasn’t immediately clear, and no one replied to a voicemail left at a number listed as Greco’s. The raid comes amid an ongoing federal investigation into Adams’ political fundraising, which is believed to be focused on whether foreign money was funneled into his 2021 campaign. A City Hall spokesperson says Greco has been placed on administrative leave.
