NYC Mayor Eric Adams’ top aide Ingrid Lewis-Martin surrenders to authorities on bribery charges

New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ top aide Ingrid Lewis-Martin surrendered to authorities to face expected bribery charges early Thursday morning — which will make her the highest-profile city official to face charges since Mayor Adams was indicted on federal corruption charges in late September.

Lewis-Martin — who arrived at Manhattan Criminal Court dressed up in a leopard-print top and wearing 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 her City Hall role, expedited a hold-up with a construction project run by the two businessmen.

In return for the favor, the businessmen allegedly had given her son, Glenn Martin II, who goes by DJ Suave Luciano, the massive loan to buy the luxury vehicle, sources told The Post.

Lewis-Martin, her son and at least one of the businessmen, hotelier Mayank Dwivedi, are expected to be charged.

Dwivedi’s lawyer Teny Geragos told The Post Wednesday night: “The DA has an incomplete and inaccurate view of the facts. We look forward to setting the record straight and proving Mr Dwivedi’s complete innocence.”
