Federal agents conducted a court-authorized search at 1447 Gillespie Ave., the Bronx home of Winnie Greco, a top aide to New York City Mayor Eric Adams, as part of an ongoing investigation. Greco, who has been a longtime ally of Adams, serving as a liaison and fundraiser to Chinese American communities since her arrival from Fujian in 1995, is under scrutiny for her financial relationships and fundraising activities. The FBI also raided the New World Mall in Flushing, known for hosting many fundraisers for Mayor Adams. This raid is part of a series of federal investigations linked to individuals close to the mayor, marking the third such incident in recent months. Amidst these developments, Greco suffered a medical episode during the raid, leading to her being transported to a hospital and subsequently placed on paid sick leave. The Department of Investigation (DOI) had previously launched a probe into Greco, who was featured at Mayor Adams' events, including the Times Square ball drop and a Jan. 25 women-focused presser.
