Adams denies knowledge of NYC construction firm at center of campaign probe — but has ‘communicated’ with embattled fundraiserConstruction business owner in Adams FBI probe bought $2.1M apartment, flashes trips to Japan and Greecepreviously ran another firm that was embroiled in two other corruption and bribery scandals more than a decade ago, according to public records.
Erden Arkan is the Turkish CEO of the Brooklyn construction company, KSK, being scrutinized by the feds as part of a larger probe into Mayor Eric Adams’ fundraising.The DOT duo were nabbed after an unnamed Kiska executive was arrested on undisclosed charges and agreed to wear a wire to bust the city employees, prosecutors said at the time.
The second incident in 2008 involved Kiska — who at the time was working on the city’s High Line project — lavishing two city employees with expensive meals and giving one of their sons a free honeymoon to Turkey, according to reports at the time. In the aftermath, Kiska appeared to stop getting work from the city but was able to obtain several state-funded contracts — including $41.9 million to revamp Long Island’s Robert Moses Causeway.
