A lifelong cop turned politician took bribes

Here's the full text of the indictment: https://hellgatenyc.com/read-the-eric-adams-indictment-here/

Anybody know what's up with this Turkish connection? My assumption is that it's mob and or nepotism stuff rather than political stuff. I don't think Turkey has any real interest in NYC politics. Is it just that well-connected Turkish people own venues in NYC and they get their political patrons to donate to Adams? Is there something more funny/interesting going on?
