A longtime aide to embattled New York Mayor Eric Adams has stepped down.
Winnie Greco, the city’s director of Asian Affairs, resigned Monday after more than a decade working closely with Adams as a liaison between him, in his different capacities, and the Asian American community. FBI agents raided Greco’s and several other Adams aides’ properties earlier this year.
“Both Winnie Greco and Mohamed Bahi today tendered their resignations. We thank them for their service to the city,” a spokesperson for City Hall said in a statement to NBC New York, referring also to Bahi, another aide who was part of the mayor’s Community Affairs Unit.
Federal prosecutors in Manhattan on Tuesday charged Bahi, a former City Hall official, in connection with the ongoing criminal investigation into allegations of straw donations and the 2021 campaign to elect Adams, court documents show.
FBI agents raided Greco’s two Bronx properties in late February. Agents also searched her office at the New World Mall in Flushing, Queens. The mayor’s office said that during the ordeal, Greco suffered a “medical episode” that prompted federal authorities to request an ambulance to take her to the hospital. Greco was put on leave amid the investigation and returned to work in May.
