Adams allegedly committed 23 different “overt acts,” which include accepting free flights and hotel rooms and coordinating straw donations.
In 2017, Adams allegedly accepted free business class tickets for three roundtrip international flights and a heavily discounted stay at a suite in the St. Regis Istanbul.
Adams allegedly accepted over $123,000 worth of luxury travel benefits between 2016 and 2021, without disclosing any of it.
“No one is above the law, including the Mayor of New York City,” Schumer said in a written statement Thursday.
The indictment does not total the amount of matching public funds Adams allegedly received directly from the eight illegal straw donations.
