A longtime aide to embattled New York City Mayor Eric Adams has resigned.

Winnie Greco, the city’s director of Asian affairs, resigned Monday after more than a decade of working closely with Adams as a liaison between him, in his various roles, and the Asian American community. FBI agents searched the properties of Greco and several other Adams associates earlier this year.

“Winnie Greco and Mohamed Bahi presented their resignations today. We thank them for their service to the city,” a City Hall spokesperson said in a statement to NBC New York, also referring to Bahi, another aide who was part of the mayor’s community affairs unit.

Federal prosecutors in Manhattan charged Bahi, a former City Hall official, on Tuesday as part of the ongoing criminal investigation into allegations of straw donations and the 2021 campaign to elect Adams, documents show judicial.

FBI agents raided Greco’s two properties in the Bronx in late February. Agents also searched his office at 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 him to the hospital. Greco was placed on leave during the investigation and returned to work in May.

Greco’s attorney, Steven Brill, said in an email that after his properties were searched and his devices were seized, he had “not heard or heard anything.” His decision to resign was made “of his own free will”.

“This is a sad end to her admirable career as a public servant during which she spent the last 30 years dedicated to helping New York’s Asian community in particular,” Brill said in a statement.

Greco has been the liaison between the mayor and Chinese-American communities in particular in recent years, showing up in support of Adams at community events in Flushing and other enclaves. She has been linked to Adams since he was Brooklyn borough president, even accompanying him on trips to China. And when Adams was sworn in as mayor, she was among the few officials appearing behind him on the stage in Times Square. Greco, who previously ran a food export company, was named a special assistant in the Adams administration, earning $100,000 a year.

Adams was charged with bribery and wire fraud in late September. A 57-page federal indictment alleges he received $100,000 in free plane tickets and luxury hotel stays from wealthy Turkish nationals and accumulated millions in illegal contributions to the countryside in exchange for favors for his foreign benefactors.

Greco is one of several high-profile aides marred by controversies coinciding with the Adams investigation. It is unclear, however, whether the search of Greco’s properties was related to Adams’s dealings with foreign officials.

Bahi faces a single count of witness tampering and one count of destruction of records, according to the complaint.

Rana Abbasova, another longtime Adams aide who worked as protocol director in the Mayor’s Office for International Affairs, was fired Monday. Last year, authorities searched the home of Abbasova, a liaison to the Turkish community. Abbasova’s lawyers declined NBC New York’s request for comment.
