🚨🇺🇸 BROOKLYN MOGUL TO PLEAD GUILTY IN ERIC ADAMS TURKISH AIRLINE SCANDAL
Brooklyn developer Erden Arkan is throwing in the towel, set to plead guilty to conspiracy and wire fraud for funneling illegal “straw donations” to Eric Adams’ 2021 campaign.
Arkan allegedly played bagman for Turkish diplomat Reyhan Özgür, who sweetened the pot with discounted Turkish Airlines flights for Adams while lobbying to fast-track Turkey’s new NYC consulate.
Diplomacy?
More like mileage points with benefits.
When asked for comment, Arkan said, “I’m so busy, thank you,” and his lawyer ghosted reporters.
Adams denies wrongdoing, but as guilty pleas roll in, this story is taking off faster than a Turkish Airlines flight to Istanbul.
