Eight months after Ingrid Lewis-Martin and her son, Glenn Martin II (AKA "SUAVE LUCIANO") were indicted for taking cash from developers in exchange for speeding up building approvals, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has brought four new indictments against the mayor's former chief advisor, along with other six other co-conspirators, according to filings released this morning.
"Between 2022 and 2024, defendant Ingrid Lewis Martin, then Chief Advisor to the Mayor of the City of New York, repeatedly violated the public trust and abused her position, authority, and influence for personal gain," reads the statement of facts about the indictment, before cataloguing a litany of bribery allegations, all revolving around schemes in which Lewis-Martin received gifts or favors for using her authority to help out developers and other businesspeople. (Several of those people are also being charged and are set to be arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court later today—stay tuned for our coverage!)
Here are the four alleged bribery schemes, which run the gamut from killing long-planned safety improvements to McGuinness Boulevard, to fast-tracking a karaoke bar in Queens, to handing out lucrative asylum seeker shelter contracts. And yes, some of these names feature prominently in Hell Gate's Table of Success.
