A former aide to New York City Mayor Eric Adams intends to plead guilty to conspiracy in connection with the federal corruption case against the mayor, prosecutors said in a filing.

Prosecutors say Mohamed Bahi, who is identified in the indictment against New York City Mayor Eric Adams as “Adams Employee-1,” has indicated he intends to plead to a charge of conspiracy to commit wire fraud.
